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?

Carboon footprint
A lot of carbon fooprint I got from transport because,
I am from countryside and everyday I make a lot of kilometres with a bus. Result at home surprised me,
but actually because of wood which is used at my home to heat our house, the number was that high. I think that I would be able to
lower carbon fooprint. We are just too spoiled and we could live more simple.
We need to be aware of how much environment is important to us.
What you described about your footprint and how people are too spoiled if pretty true when it comes to most people (with the exception of wood heating). Long trips in cars and people being spoiled with their electronics and today's complex lifestyle is a big part of why we have a carbon dioxide emissions issue in the first place.
