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?

My ecologycal footprint
Measuring our ecological footprint is interesting because we learn how much we pollute. I have learnes my covel of polluting regarding food, transport and my way of living at home. It also helps know what is my level regarding my contry,s average.
What country are you from? I am from the US and my carbon footprint was higher than average. How about yours? If it is high, what are you going to do to lower it and if it is low, then good job! What have you been doing in regards to transportation, food, and buying things? Do you take a lot of plane trips or car rides, or do you prefer to walk or ride a bike? My transportation score was very high, so if yours is low, I'm wondering what advice you could give me on keeping it low!
What country are you from I'm interested so I can learned more about you and your footprint and what resources do you use a lot?
I think it is pretty cool how we can see how much we pollute and also our country or even other parts of the world
