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
I think that something I do that contributes a lot to my carbon footprint is how much I drive. I think something I could do to lesson my carbon footprint is by carpooling with friends who live nearby. I also own a bike so I could start biking more often instead of driving somewhere under five minutes away.
