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?

My Carbon Footprint
The result of the quiz made me realise that I used a lot of carbon at home. One of the reasons is that I ussualy leave the TV on when I'm not watching it. Another one is that I keep my hair straightener in the socket when I'm not using it like 30 minutes a week.
When it comes to transportation, I have a proposal in order to solve one of the issues of carbon excess: to try traveling by public transport.
