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?

My carbon footprint
I took the quiz to find out my carbon footprint and, even though it was low compared to the average in my area, it still seemed too high to me. I don't want to destroy the earth so I will take some measures to do it. I could shut off the lights when no one is in the room that they are in (sometimes I forget but I want to change that). I also take really long showers sometimes so I'm going to make a playlist about ten minutes long or I will set a timer and I will have to get out when that playlist or timer is up. My transportation was the highest of them all, but it mostly comes from my family having to go to the nearest grocery store that carries what we need(we mostly eat organic), which is about 20 miles away. We could get a more fuel efficient car or an electric or gas/electric hybrid.
Good luck on reserving your resources.
Try harder to reserve your resources.
Maybe try to take less time when showering
Maybe try to keep the lights off when no one is in the room more and take quicker showers.
I like that although your score was lower than the average person, you would still like to make it better. It is always good to improve your Carbon Footprint score to help the environment!
try hard using less water and using less light and just dont forget to turn them off
Try to shower faster and make sure all the lights are off when they are not needed
