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?

Composting
Hello! I'm coming from Croatia where wasting food is not as normalised as in US or other countries but I believe that we could do a lot to stop wasting it instead of giving it to those in needs or composting it, if we worked and think thogether. Also, I think we should be using organic food with natural indegredients instead of food filled with artificial indegredients. A lot of food in stores, even those they say is healthy, can still contain a lot of artificial additives and sugar where they are not necessary. My carbon footprint is about 8000 and I will try to walk more and reuse things to reduce it. My footprint is above average in my country and I believe that food took a big role in this number so I will try to eat more organic food and try to compost!
Bye
