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
My carbon footprint was below the average amount (9,727kgs) mine was 9,238kgs. A carbon footprint "is is the total amount of greenhouse gases (including carbon dioxide and methane) that are generated by our actions"(The Nature conservatory). I talked to some of the people at my table group about their carbon foot print numbers per year and they ranged from 9,426- 10,108kgs. After comparing our carbon foot prints we noticed that the highest source of our kgs were coming from our transportation habits. We believe that if we use better sources of transportation our footprints would be even lower. https://www.nature.org/en-us/get-involv … alculator/
