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?

good citizen
Personally, my footprint was a lot more than the average citizen. In order to reduce my footprint, I am going to try to take BART more.
Or walk or ride a bike
I agree transportation makes a large carbon footprint
Yeah, the difference between the carbon footprint made by carpooling versus by using public transportation was actually pretty big. Public transportation is a much more eco-friendly choice.
Good idea. It most definitely makes a difference. Though keep in mind that BART also makes a carbon footprint
Very smart comments
