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?

Carbon use reflection
I was surprised by how high my carbon footprint was compared to the rest of California. I think this is because I take more airplane flights than the average California resident. I think I can significantly reduce my carbon footprint by biking to school instead of driving everyday.
I hope you are safe while biking to school. Do you have sidewalks or do you have to ride in the streets?
Starting to ride your bike to school will most likely decrease it. Stay safe and wear a helmet.
