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?

Wondering how plane travel affects my footprint.
I have a very low footprint, or i would, if I hadn't taken any flights. I ended up with 22,000kgs. Aside from travel i had a very low footprint, with about 1300 in total for all other areas. I have one question though, how much influence does plane traffic have for a single person? As I am travelling with about 150 other people, I wonder if it is more economic than a lone car ride? Or carpooling?
