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 Footprints
My footprint is above average, mainly because of how much CO2 it takes to produce the food that I’m eating. My home, purchases, and transportation categories are either the average amount or a lot less than average. I can reduce my carbon footprint by having a better diet, such as reducing my meat intake.
