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?

My carbon footprint
I need to reduce the use of transports such as cars, buses and mainly airplanes, cause they are the highest carbon producers and, as I´ve been travelling quite a lot the last months, the quantity of carbony I´ve produced has been much higher.
I don't think you'r the only one. Most people do, including me. But most people aren't willing to admit it. Our society has adapted to the idea that they need these necessities, such as cars, to get anywhere and do anything. They ignore the fact that these resources are increasing their carbon foot print which effects our environment. It is great your aware of your impact on the environment but most people aren't and need to be made aware before it't to late.
