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?

My carbon footprint
A carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouse gases that you release in the air. My carbon footprint was lower than the average person which was 9,727kg. (https://www.nature.org) Compared to my table groups footprint I had an average carbon footprint, theirs were 9,238kg, 10,108kg and my carbon footprint was 9,426kg. My carbon footprint mostly came from my house which was 5,062kg which is below the average of 6000kg.
