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?

Carbon Footprint
My carbon footprint was really high and I don't know why. I don't really use lights, I use blankets instead of heat when I shower it's not that long. I don't understand why it is so high.
It's good that you do all those things to lower your carbon footprint but is it possible that the reason it is so high is due to the transportation section of it? If so, you could try taking public transportation and carpooling. It may be hard to do that everyday so you could set a goal of taking the bus a couple days a week or whatever works for you. You could also walk or bike instead of drive whenever you can. I hope this helped! https://cotap.org/reduce-carbon-footprint/
