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?

Taking a step back on my Carbon Footprint
In order to decrease my carbon footprint, I can try to use more sustainable forms of transpiration such as walking and biking instead of driving and flying. I can also try not to waste any food. When I'm leaving the house, I can try to remember to turn off the lights. I can also take shorter showers if possible. Finally, I can try to only buy what we're going to use so I don't waste any products.
I agree with all of this, and I think that I am doing some of this, and I could do netter on some of this.
