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?

Maybe we should care more..
We should pay a little bit more attention to things in our daily life that may help to do a little change in the world, , (recycle, turn off lights), because the Earth is everyone’s planet, it is a big gift and we should care more about it, and less about other things such as the borders between countries.
Everybody can put its own little effort.
Also in America the carbon footprintaverage is higher than in Europe, which is the cause?
