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?

Reducing carbon footprint...... again!
This is my 2nd year in a row doing this experiment and I must say that I am very proud of my results, and I even have ways I can improve my footprint. I think a lot of people should look at this and calculate their own because I feel like most people would be surprised in a good or bad way, then these people can maintain or improve their footprint.
That's great Jack! So how much did your footprint improve (if you don't mind sharing), and what did you do to improve it?
GREAT JOB! I have learned a lot about how I treat and use Energy and the Environment. I have had this project for 4 days and i'm still changing things.
