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?

Too much traffic fumes
One month ago, cities in my countri as Madrid or Barcelona had done a restriction about car fumes in the centre of the city, because car fumes have formed a could in the sky. I think that people need to make aware about the damage that this produces to our world, because it is not necessary to take the car to go all places inside the city, it would be better to us to take public transport or also the bicycle, but it's more comfortable to take the car.
yes, and since pollution from car fumes is correlated with carbon emissions, it is a way to reduce carbon pollution in a way that has immediate positive benefits for people in cities.
