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?

Carbon Footprint reflection- China
My footprint is much higher than the average Chinese person, especially the transportation part. It surprises me. Some of my habits are really convenient to me in life, but now I should change some of my habits to reduce carbon footprint.
1. Take public transportation instead of driving.
2. Turn off the lights when nobody is home.
3. Take a shorter time shower.
4. The shorter using time of laptop.
