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
My carbon footprint is pretty baseline except my transportation! I live far-ish away from school, half way through the day I go to another school which is another couple of miles away. I'm thinking that to drop my transportation footprint is to carpool with the other person who goes to the other school half of the day with me, maybe it will do something.
That darn transportation...
I think that governments should facilitate more public transport. I don't live where my school is either. That's why my transportation average is so high! So I also carpool with other people in a minivan.
