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?

Carbon Footprint
My carbon footprint is 17,740 Kg. It’s way higher than the average because I travel so much more than the average person. I looked at people’s emissions from around the world and they are much lower than mine. They are saying they release more CO2 in food. I think this is because they eat more food from other countries instead or locally grown.
