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?

Clean transpertation
I think that people in developing countries in some cases are poorer and don’t necessarily have the new up to date versions of what we have today. For example not everyone has access to new fuel efficient car so they use their old gas gussler.
Yes I agree, when you think about when America was devolving and how much carbon we used and put into the atmosphere during the Industrial Revolution. It isn’t fair for these smaller countries to be so forced into being so clean very quickly
Although it is true that smaller countries with weaker economies than that of the U.S.A are still using less fuel-efficient cars. It is important to keep in mind that these countries do not have access to the newest car models of today, and are truly stuck with their inefficient and old automobiles. However, even as a country with more fuel-efficient cars, we still aren't riding public transportation to our best ability, and many of us refuse to carpool. being better about these two practices would greatly help the U.S.A carbon footprint.
