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?

Why you should reuse!
People in the Bay Area emit 1,191 kgs of greenhouse gases on purchases alone! This is because of the fact that most people buy new products instead of reused. If you were to buy second-hand clothing and furniture, not only would your greenhouse gas emission level go down, but you would be saving so much! So switch to second hand!
