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?

Reduction of Carbon Footprint
After utilizing the carbon footprint calculator I realized I could reduce mine. First off I can stop wearing fast fashion. For example, factories that export use ships which the exhaust causes global warming. Instead, I will go to local shops at the mall where clothes are produced locally. Also, I will unplug my devices such as the gaming setup so it doesn't waste power while it's in sleep mode.
