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?

Carbon Footprint Sabine
I see many differences across the globe. There are so many differences because people around the globe live differently than everyone else. In order for me to get my footprint to be the same as theirs, I would have to change up my lifestyle. I could take different transportation, I could use less water throughout the day, and I could use less trash each week.
