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?

I noticed that I use a lot more energy in my house than I do with transport or purchases because I walk everywhere and I do not buy much food or clothing. I live with my parents so of course, we use more energy but we only use the heat 2 months out of the year as well as the air conditioning. So what other resources we are using could be emitting more CO2 in the atmosphere.
