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?

student footprint
My carbon footprint was way higher then i would have though it would be. I believe the amount of electricity and light bulbs i use during the day should be lower, then maybe my carbon footprint would be lower. I think your carbon footprint average goes up high with the amount of electricity and how much you go to school in a car in. So maybe i could walk instead of once, two times. My food amount and purchases were lower than the region i was in but my transportation and home was way higher than my region. My home section was the highest maybe due to the electricity and amount of fans that are on in my house. I think instead of turning on fans i can turn on the cooler but wouldnt that just make my average higher.
