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?

Importance of public transportation
I think more people should use public transportation. I think people should do this so our carbon footprint is less then what it is now. If more people took public transportation there would be fewer cars on the road. Which would mean less CO2 emissions, this would make our carbon footprint less.
