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?

Meatless meals and locally grown food
I think people need to eat more vegetarian and/or vegan meals. The meat and dairy industry pollutes a lot so just one vegan meal a week would make a difference. I think people, specially in Iceland need to buy more locally grown food. People often just buy the cheaper option and don't think about the pollution that comes with imported products. Locally grown products is good for the environment and good for the economy and obviously helps local businesses.
