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 Carbon Footprint
I was surprised the first time I saw my Carbon Footprint, because it was very low then the average of my country. I basically don't waste energy during the day, I turn of the lights and not waste a lot of water by turning off the sink when it necessarily, like when I am brushing my teeth. I use energy at night for charging my phone.
yes i was surprised too! we can improve just by changing our habits
