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?

Home grown
Eating home or locally grown food can help you to lower your carbon footprint. It can reduce much packaging, and plastic use. Also you are not buying food grown in another country which has to transport long way before you will get it, and less carbon will go out to the air. It is also very good for you because you know what has been put or not put in to the food.
