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?

Knowing carbon footprint
This survey made us realise the urgent need to reduce our carbon dioxide consumption.
It definitely led to increasing awareness about environmental issues and motivated us to look for measures to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions.
I completely agree with both of you. The survey has proved to be quite motivating and made everyone of us know the reality and take better steps ahead
I agree that this survey and project gave a very real example of how much we affect our environment, and the steps that we could take to reduce this impact.
