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?

Footprint, Wiktoria
Hello!
My name is Wiktoria and I live in small village which is located near Rybnik. I'm from Poland. I was very surprised when I looked results of my total footprint it's 10,257 kgs so I'm really upset because the average of my country is 6,526 kgs. The score of Home category is 7,890 kgs, it really exceed outcome people from Poland but I'm proud of my rest results. My transportation score is 354 kgs I'm very happy because it's about three Times smaller compared with achievements of people from my country, I think it's a huge difference and this is the rest of my categories:
Food: 1,975 kgs
Purchases: 37 kgs
Please post it, what do you think should I reduce my results?
