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?

Transportation and Sustainability
Even though there are a lot of us in the world that does carpool and reduces the carbon concentration, on the other hand, there are much more people who do not carpool, taking their own cars to work every day of the week. By carpooling, we can reduce the number of cars on the road and become more sustainable.
