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
I calculated my footprint and it is 10,014 kgs of CO2 per year which is only slightly higher than the average California. What is interesting is in food and transportation. I order food to go very frequently. I should change this habit because i order Door Dash a lot. Eating home cooked meals and being less picky about what I eat would reduce my carbon footprint. Also my main hobby is fishing. Sometimes this takes me to local fishing places but often I am being driven 30 miles total to get to my fishing spot. I could try to carpool with friends. This is where u can get more tips: https://sustainability.georgetown.edu/c … ou-can-do/
