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?

If you turn your electronics all the way off and unplug them when they are done charging, when they are done charging you will see a change in your carbon footprint because it uses less electricity when you unplug it.
yes turnoff your computers and your phones.
Global warming is caused primarily from putting too much carbon into the atmosphere when coal, gas, and oil are burned to generate electricity or to run our cars. So it is important that we use as less as possible electricity by turning off lights whenever we leave home or places.
