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?

Eco-Friendly Purchases
Before doing this, I didn't realize that buying clothes online can actually cause a huge carbon footprint... Besides purchasing clothing in stores, I found some stores that provide more eco-friendly shipping options (and the clothes are still super cute!) Anyways, I'll probably start shopping here if I'm not planning to go to stores. Here are some stores if anyone else is interested:
