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 total was 13,639. This was a lot lower then I thought it would be. Most of my carbon footprint score came from transportation and the least came from purchases. I wasn't surprised that my transportation was high because I travel a lot but maybe I can ride a bike to get to places.
My footprint was a lot lower than expected also
Most of mine came from purchases
Mine was also lower than I expected it to be, though mines about half as much as yours.
