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?

Evelyn G - Carbon Footprint
I wasn't totally shocked when I saw my carbon footprint total. It wasn't too high because I try to reduce resource consumption as much as I can. Since I travel far for work and school, I knew that the automobile/traveling would be the biggest impact.
did you identify any ways to reduce your footprint?
maybe you should find a way to avoid the use of airplanes and automobiles to reduce your carbon footprint even more!
