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?

Lifestyle Changes
I just recently did the carbon footprint calculator to see what impact I had on the environment. I felt that I would have an average CO2 output, but I was wrong. My footprint was way above average, and I'm feeling rather perturbed about it. It's inspired me to focus more on my energy consumption, and likely make some lifestyle changes to be more sustainable.
