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?

My Footprint.
Hi, my name is Celia and I'm form Spain.
My footprint is below the average in Spain because I eat little meat and I don't put a lot the air conditioner.
Hi Celia, that's very interesting that your footprint is below average, what's your carbon footprint because mine is above average 19,143 kgs since I travel many times. What's the average carbon footprint for Spain?
Thats a nice footprint and that its lower than average, and good job on helping the enviorment
That's a good footprint compared to other people.
Dang you need to start eating more then, its very unhealthy if you don't eat a lot.
You should start eating more meat, it is really important to have meat in your diet.
Very good to keep the carbon low but why don't you eat meat. It tastes so good. Also, I don't know very many people to not use their air conditioner a lot so congrats for that because I could not do it.
Way to have a good judgement of things that are important and being less of a harm or threat to the environment.
How are you doing that? In a good way though, America uses way too much AC, maybe we need to work on that.
Mine is also below average. I think mine is below because I don't own my own car so I can't go many places.
