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 (USA) | Tyra Jean
Hey, my name is Tyra Jean and I live in Mooresville, North Carolina. I'm 17 years old and I go to Mooresville Senior High School. My total footprint was 32,787kgs. My total is above average. The majority of my carbon footprint came from transportation. I did expect my results because I travel a lot. I learned that I don't purchase as much as I thought I did. I can decrease my carbon footprint by traveling less.

The majority of my footprint came from transportation also, I expected my score to be high but not as high as it appeared. I also learned from my footprint that I don't buy as much as I thought. We both are in the same situation and we need to travel less to decrease our footprints.
