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?

Student Carbon Footprint
I do see many differences across the globe with student carbon footprints. I think these differences exist because there are different resources around the world that affect how its inhabitants live. Also, many different locations are taking different actions to reduce their carbon footprint while others are not. I did use the calculator to try and reduce my footprint. Some changes I would need to make is using more energy efficient transportation like biking, walking, and public transportation. I am definitely going to try my best to take these actions into my daily life.
