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?

My carbon footprint
I thought my carbon footprint is going to be better and i thought mines is gonna be better than the average person. But it wasn't. I can reduce it by using less energy in the house like not letting the faucet run when I'm brushing my teeth.
I totally agree! Turning the water off while you brush your teeth can make a big change in your footprint!
I agree with you that turning the water off would save the carbon amount. Good Idea!
I agree 100% . Reducing things you do in home are a perfect wave to conserve energy.
I agree with turning the water off, it saves a lot more water than you would think.
yes, if you turn off the faucet when your not using the water , that will help and same with turning off the lights when you leave a room and using fans instead of the AC, and more things like that.
