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?

Planes (Efficiency )
I think that the reason planes emit so much of a carbon footprint is because it isn't profitable to make planes good for the environment. If we made it profitable (thru legislation ) to use renewable energy on planes then we could decrease our carbon footprint. I think this is a good idea because flying is an important part of how connected our world is.
i agree, but we would need a lot of energy to fly some places, and to create all that energy the companies would most likely use fossil fuels
Yeah but what if we made fossil fuels illegal.
black market
That would put the world's economy into a fuel crisis, my dude. The price of fuel would be jacked up causing a worldwide fuel cartel.
i agree with you also because planes need a lot of energy to fly but its also really bad for the environment
besides how are the poorer countries supposed to get money for expensive electricity?
Maybe not 100% illegal but uneconomical
I think planes are a very good way to fly but they also are destroying our atmosphere more and more every day and I cannot stand for that which is why i promise to only fly when I have enough money and can afford it.
w could get rid of power all together, go bak to the good old days
But that would reduce our efficiency in many other things
Yeah boi
