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?

Reduce
I want to reduce my carbon footprint in general but mainly in home and transportation. What steps would I need to take to complete this? Is there a more convenient way of transportation than taking a bus or walking, especially if it is far from where you are?
To reduce your consumption at home, you can for example put in leds, always turn off the lights when a room is empty. Don't leave your TV, computer, etc, think about unplugging them too. Use hot water sparingly and also don't run your heating all year round. But also sort out your waste...
And for transport, taking the bus and walking is very good and unfortunately I don't think you can reduce your carbon footprint in transport, especially if you live far from certain things.
