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?

I really liked this project, I was able to learn a lot about carbon footprint and find out my family's carbon footprint. The carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases produced by our activities. This project encouraged me to think about how to make my carbon footprint on the earth smaller.
