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 foot print was way above average. My carbon foot print was 26,782 kgs this is very high, as the average carbon foot print is around 16,000 kgs according to the Nature Conservatory. Along with this my carbon foot print was the highest in my class. Home appliances contributed the most to my carbon foot print, especially in the heating and air conditioning areas. Some ways I could reduce my carbon footprint are limiting the use of my heating, air conditioning, and using home appliances just less.
