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?

how can we reduce co2 levels?
Look for things you do that made your footprint big, for me it was transportation, and then try and find ways you can to cut down on how much you move, or how you go about moving around. Try keeping lights off at your house to save energy as well.
I agree. there are many transportation alternatives such as bikes, walking, and carpooling which are much better for the environment. Even little things like eating less meat can make a difference.
