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?

family foot print
When I was filling out my carbon foot print I realized it was more than double the average and that i could make a change, a small change but a change just within my family that too could make a big change if other families like mine did the same.
Why was your footprint 2 times the average American? You should say why it was so high and what do you do to reduce your footprint. You need to be more specific.
mine is a little over half the average persons but we have a lot of foods we don't eat in my home and i live in a small place but why was yours specifically so high?
