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?

Light bulbs for life
Most things that create carbon emissions start at home. Every single thing we do adds onto the carbon footprint of the earth. One thing we can do to help this is change our light bulbs to LED lights. Something else we can do that has been repeated many times to everyone is to turn the lights off every day.
