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?

Reggie
My name is Reggie. I am from the United States and I live in Mooresville, NC. I am 14 years old. My carbon footprint was very unique because it was below average at 8,804 kgs of carbon dioxide. Majority of my carbon footprint comes from the food we eat in our house. My results weren't really expected or unexpected because I didn't know what I would get. While doing this activity, I learned that my carbon footprint is not as high as others which is good.
I also go to Moorseville High School, it is a great school
I also had a below average Carbon Footprint.
