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?

Transportation
I think it is important to change the ways of transportation because by calculating the carbon footprint I realized that in transportation is the part in which I am affecting the most to the environment and I wasn't realizing it until now. It is important that all of us take in consideration the actions we make to the planet and if we see we are doing something wrong we have the power to change it and make it better.
