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?

Cheste (Spain)
Hello to all!
The average of my carbon footprint is 4,986 is lower than that of Spain (6,968) but higher than the rest of the world. My highest part is in the house. In Spain almost does not speak about the pollution and this is a very important topic. The temperature of the planet has been increasing, this has provoked the melting of the glaciers of the Earth what has liberated water to the atmosphere making grow to the rivers, seas and provoking strong rains. But here they are interested more in the money and because of it so many difficulties in the renewable energies.
What do you think about this?
I agree with you Paula, in Spain one doesn't speak practically about this topic, and doesn't seem to me to be correct, since this topic is important and is better to centre on this topic that in less important others
Hello Paula! I agree with you. In our country we have to become aware of these problems that are really disturbing. The majority of us doesn't want to realize of the damage we are causing to the planet . If we don't do something now, our planet will be destroyed. Nature is our mother and we don't respect it... it's really sad.
In addition, I also think that people who has the power is just worried about money and they establish taxes so that we won't be able to pay ,for example, solar panels, because they earn a lot of money with electric enterprises. So they contribute to the world's destruction. We must do something now!!
