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?

How I will reduce my carbon footprint
Personally I feel that I can take shorter showers to reduce my carbon footprint. I will start to turn off my water when I am not using it because the most time I take in the shower is on my hair. I will also reuse more of containers like my empty lotion and hair product containers. When going to hang out with my friends, I will try to carpool as much as possible or take public transportation.
