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?

My highest is transportation because my car gets around 7 or 8 miles per gallon. My lowest is purchases because I don't spend a lot of money on stuff.
Good job keeping your footprint down. I see how you had Transportation the highest like me(nearly everyone's is transportation)
Try taking heavy things out of your car if you don't need them.
removing just 20 pounds of unneeded objects can be a big increase in your MPG
( miles per gallon )
