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?

Public Transportation and Car Pool.
CO2 concentrations are a big problem right now, and one way to start on fixing this is to start to take public transportation, more often or car pool. When everyone takes separate cars more CO2 goes into the atmosphere. If people took public transportation or car pooled, that is so much less CO2 emissions in our atmosphere.
