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. How I can reduce it?
We produce carbon even whe we are hanging out with friends because we use a lot of things that produce this component, but we can reduce it if we try to avoid some situations or even some food that can produce it. For example, my carbon footprint showed me that I produce a lot of CO2 when I don't turn the lights off and I'm not using those lights, so I can start there, every time that I'm not in a room and there is a light on, I can turn it off. This is not complicated is just the need to reduce the impact of ever single thing that we do to help to make bigger the global warming. There are a lot of ways to reduce the production of this component that I can do, like try to eat food without artificial fertilizers, try to walk to some places near to me instead of using the car or a bus, buy less electronic devices and try to change some habits in my family so we can reduce it in home.
I think, how you said, that start with small actions is the best thing we can do to reduce our carbon foothprint.
