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?

Solar Panels
My family's carbon footprint was lower than the average carbon footprint on my area. The solar panels we have at our house has contributed plenty to our carbon footprint especially during the pandemic where you need a compute for everyday life. Since we use a lot of electricity now, solar panels have been a big help in reducing the amount of electricity we need from the power lines. If you're willing to purchase solar panels, it would lower the cost of the electric bill and the amount of electricity used from the power lines.
