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
Hello, my name is Naia and I am from Denia, a city located on the Mediterranean coast. My carbon footprint is 8,877kgs and the average in my country is 6,968kgs. The reason why it came out higher than the average is because when I travel I travel a lot by plane throughout the year, a total of 18 times round trip, and I also think I spend a little more than normal on clothes, but on the contrary, I don't. I spend a lot on food.
