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?

Switch to Electric Stoves
I looked at my calculation, and it was noticeably high and double the average which frankly I wasn't surprised due to the fact i do use a gas stove and my intake is a little higher than others. Maybe if I don't eat that much anymore I can probably lower my average. Switching to a electric stove cost way too much.
And I could stop eating so much rice because I usually eat rice from anywhere such as a restaurant which also adds to my intake, and even driving to the place contributes so maybe I could stop doing that so much but other than that, I'd be ok.
