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?

Palo Alto Footprint
My carbon footprint is higher than my state and national average. This may because of air travel I do.I can definietly try to use more publiv tranportations
I found myself in a similar situation due to my air travel from vacations and trips. However, I do not think that traveling using different methods would lessen the amount of carbon I used. I could also try to bike places instead of driving.
