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?

Traveling and its carbon footprint
I was shocked to see just how much traveling by jet boosted your carbon foot print I had a fairly big carbon footprint for travel because I went on many airplane rides.
And because of that I think it's better to do a car trip because it leaves less of a carbon footprint
i know right!!
