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?

Transportation
One way to cut down on your carbon footprint for your transportation is by if possible not fly. Flying cause a lot of carbon and is very bad for the world today.
I agree that flying less or not at all would be a good way to reduce one's carbon footprint. Planes release massive amounts of CO2, which pollutes the atmosphere and contributes greatly to air pollution. I think that instead, carpooling or taking busses long distances is a better alternative for the environment.
