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?

Lowering Your Carbon Footprint
It is simple to get started at making your home life more efficient such as replacing lightbulbs with Led versions of the ones currently in the light. Composting is also a great way to lower trash production and you get free fertilizer for plants to start your own garden or give it to a local farm. Buying food from local farms whenever possible is also a great idea.
