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?

Footprints
I calculated my footprints. The difference between my personal result and my area result is not
high, mine being slightly lower so I can say it’s similar. I have no idea how did I learn to
economise. I think I realise myself that it is not a good thing to use so much energy, so much
electricity and water. Though, I am still trying to cut down the transport footprint. It is an old
saying: “Walking will give you beautiful legs”.
