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?

Smart cars
A generation to be able to survive on this Earth where are natural renewable resources is solely dependent upon the total annihilation of all fossil fuel resources. I think that the government should disincentive cars that use gasoline and should provide tax breaks and other incentive programs for electric cars and other alternative means of transportation that do not significantly add to our already tragically high carbon footprint.
