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?

Bus vs Car
I was wondering if this issue will ever push the majority of people to ride the bus instead of driving/carpooling in their own car.
It all depends on how may people are being transported in a single vehicle at a time.
I think more people are riding on a bus then a car because of how much carbon that come out of cars, plus gas isn't cheap anymore if you have like a bigger engine in your car..
Yes, but where I live there isn't enough public transport and it's too expensive. Moreover, when I want to travel I prefer taking the car because it is easier and faster. I think that we should propose improving the public transport in my town.
