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?

Hello from Croatia!
I think that my city (Varaždin, Croatia) has a great potential of becoming a more environment - friendly place. Although, the consciousnesses is on the average level, changes in the people's mindsets are always required. The first and the biggest step would be considering recycling as something essential in order to care about nature.
that's a good idea, on my country there's specified trash cans for every material(plastic, glass, paper).
my country is very wasteful and I think we can all come together and make a difference in our carbon footprint. Hello from America!
I agree that this is a step in the right direction recycling is a huge key in many lives.
I agree with Emily it is wasteful and if we work together than we will make a difference in America
I definitely agree with you. Recycling would be a great choice to lower how much carbon we are emitting.
Recycling would be a great first step, what would the second and third step be?
I think that recycling would be a great choice.
Recycling is a very good way to start, after you should try reducing use of energy, or less transportation(carpooling, less long trips).
recycling is a very good idea to reduce your carbon footprint and its a good idea to even start there and get other people to do it with you
Being able to recycle will make a huge impact.
It would be great to start recycling. Also, doing different things, like walking more, and using less energy would also help a lot. Keep up the good work.
