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?

The carbon footprint was lower than the average American. Some areas that were low were in electrical and in purchases. Some areas that could be lowered was transportation and food. This can be improve on by finding better ways to travel to places other than a car. Also making sure lights and other electrical items around the house are at minimum use.
