Students from around the world calculated their class mean and standard deviations for their footprints and posted them on our world map.
Do you see differences across the globe? If so, why do you think those differences exist?
Did you use the calculator to try to reduce your footprint down to the average from a citizen of another country? What changes would you have to make to lower your footprint in this way? Are you going to try and take some of these actions in your daily life?

Carbon Footprint
Hi my name is Emily and I'm from the United States. One way I will reduce my carbon footprint is carpooling to and from places. I would also walk or ride a bike, instead of driving my car all the time. Turning off lights in my room or unplugging my phone charger when I'm done using it will also help. Eating more organic food instead of fast food could help not just my carbon foot print but also my health and my weight.
good luck with those worthwhile lifestyle changes!
I think its a good idea that you want to carpool or walk, and using bikes etc. I dont think you need to change your lots of things at once. It good you want to eat healthier and help the environment as well.
