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?

Transportation
Hi my name is Lilja and I live in Iceland. I live in summer house area which is near to little town named Hveragerði. My footprint for transportation was very high compare to other people in Iceland. My school is 13km away from my home. I also practice football in the same town so I also go there on the weekends. I carpool with my mom to school in the morning but I often go home with the bus. I don’t like to use the car so much as I do and therefor I sometimes walk to work.
