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?

A better start
When I did the test on my carbon footprint, I knew I was doing something wrong. My results honestly were high and then I knew I had to start again. To improve my environment, I need a new and better beginning. I will begin by example at home. I will reduce the usage time of equipment and consume natural products to avoid using plastic bags. I will talk with my family about how our daily actions produce a malignant effect on our environment and with this propose new ways to improve.
