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?

In the past 3 days what i have learned is that my carbon footprint is mostly coming from food. I am not surprised that that is my most because yes i do eat a lot and my family buys a lot of food for us too eat. Greenhouse gases are unsymmetrical so that means they are able to trap infrared energy. what i have also learned about climate change is that these carbon footprints really do have an affection to our world and a cause. For an example more heat could be trapped in our atmosphere leading to global warming and climate change.
