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?

China carbon footprint
My footprint was higher than the average of Chinese people. It means I should pay attention to my carbon emissions and try to reduce them as much as I can.
I can make the time of shower and air-conditional shorter. Save and recycle paper it I work. Also when I go to the place which is near my house, I should choose bus, bike or walk to it. And don't forget to turn off lights or water when I leave. Or we can recycle water, like using the water that washes rice to clean the toilet.
