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?

Carbon footprint
After calculating my Carbon footprint I discovered that my carbon footprint was much smaller than the average in my state. My largest carbon release is through food, of which i personally do not see a way of truly reducing it by any significant amount.
Did you think about your food *choices*? That can make a big difference in your footprint without having to reduce your total number of calories consumed
