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?

student footprint
Shannon, Mooresville, NC, US, 14
My total carbon footprint was 10,609, this is below average by almost 5,000kgs. The majority of my carbon footprint is coming from transportation, which is 6,511. I expected it to be lower than average. In the future I would like to reduce my carbon footprint especially my transportation I could start walking or biking places instead of driving.
