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?

How reduce our own energy home ?
My home energy is very low : 479 kgs ( in my region: 2.643 kgs )
The reasons are :
I heat my home with a wood stove , rarely use the heaters which consume a lot.
I close the shutters as late as possible to turn on the lights as less as possible.
I switch off the light when I leave a room.
