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?

Over the past 3 days, I have learned that my carbon footprint is mostly coming from transportation, specifically my travel in planes. I have learned about what makes a greenhouse gas and an example of how to identify a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gasses relate to climate change because the gasses float up into our atmosphere. Once in our atmosphere they are trapped and act like a blanket around the Earth, which makes it a lot hotter. My Carbon Footprint relates to greenhouse gasses and Carbon is a Greenhouse gas which goes into the atmosphere.
