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?

Home category footprint
I am really astonished when I saw that the largest proportion is the home category footprint. In order to reduce the carbon usages at home, we can set up the solar energy system, this will help a lot when we are in the hot and humid religion. Also we can change the bulbs into the LED or CFL, they will influence the electricity consumption so much.
What did you do at home? Why the home category footprint will use the largest proportion?
