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?

wants vs needs
I never thought that my carbon footprint is the way that it is. I figured that it would be really high because I usually leave my lights on. I feel that everyone could change our carbon footprints (even me) by turn off our lights and getting the things we need instead of want. Like the cool shoes you want even though you already have a pair. we can improve this by saying NO to the things that we want and just getting the things that we need. we could also get our transportation down by carpooling with others if you are going to the same place. Most of the time you say "no I don't want to ride with them" but we need to start doing that so we don't pollute the earth. Our earth is dying from all of us making weird decisions in our lives. we all need food in our lives but people are eating too much and not cutting down their diets. this is also playing a big role in our carbon footprints. we can lower this by going out to eat less, and eating junk foods. we can improv e by eating healthier and by just eating 3 times a day no more. what do you think you can do to improve on your wants and needs?
I also Believe we should All Focus On Our Needs and not wants.
i also believe we should focus on needs instead of wants
I agree with everyone else and i believe everything has already been stated
I agree that could work.
