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 footprint
Before I calculated I thought that I would be higher because my family travels a lot and buys cloths and eats local food sometimes when I did my calculations I was surprised to see that I was below but I now realize we do some of those things like eat organic and shop at thrift shops and don't us a lot of heating and I'm also aware of how I can always reduce my carbon footprint by simply turning off the light when I walk out of a room or turning of my heater when I leave the house these thing can help.
