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?

The Future of Traveling?
My carbon footprint was also drastically increased by my traveling this year. I took approximately 15 flights and the impact I had on the environment greatly concerned me. I was trying to figure out if there could really be a solution to this issue but was stumped. I couldn't seem to figure out a more environmentally healthy yet reasonable means to transportation. Im curious as to whats being done in todays engineering fields to try to figure out this problem and if there even is a solution to this?
