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?

Driving Better
Believe it or not driving is one of the most polluting thing that must of us do. studies have shown up to 30% of the difference in miles per gallon (MPG) is due to driving habits alone. You could save more than a ton of CO2 per year by: Accelerating slowly and smoothly, driving the speed limit, maintaining a steady speed, and anticipate your stops and starts. http://www.davidsuzuki.org/what-you-can … er-planet/
