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?

Real Climate Change
I believe that there is a limited amount of CO2 that we humans can use up. Plus, with everyone's carbon footprint, it is causing global warming. In 2015, according to the website I read about,“2015 was 1.5 °C above preindustrial”, which is really bad for the environment. Our actions as a whole society around the world will lead to an outcome unbearable. For this reason, I agree with the author of this post about climate change.
In my learnings I did for Carbon footprints, people can limit the amount they use home charging, energy, and other appliances that create a to of CO2 emissions. Plus, for transportation, people can use cras a little less and start riding a bike or walking for short distance travel. For long distance, try buying a low carbon fuel car instead of a large 4x4 car.
With these actions, people as a whole can reduce the amount of CO2 emissions they are putting out and save their environment. This will take a long time, due to our past being disrupt and uncaring for their planet.
