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?

Electricity
It would be good to switch to a better power source than fossil fuels in certain places. But the process in making things like solar panels aren't exactly green. In the meantime people could just use less power. In some places there isn't even much or any power and we sort of abuse it I guess.
