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 Foot Print.
Compare to my carbon foot print to the average, I feel very guilty. Because it shock me that my carbon foot print is much higher than the average! I travel a lot and waste a lot of resources. But I didn't aware any of these before. On he other hand, I feel fortunate to know this now. Even it's pretty bad, I can change it from now on. Moreover, I feel really scared. Because most of the people around me are wasteful than me! I can't imagine what will happened they don't aware this. One way I will low my carbon foot print is using public transportation when I go out. Another solution is to close air-condition while it's not so hot. I can use fans instead of air-conditioner to save electricity.
