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?

Carbon Footprint Angela Delgado
Mooresville, North Carolina (US) Age: 14
My total calculated carbon footprint was 6,877 kgs. It was below average for North Carolina and most of it came from food. I thought that home would have been the most because of all the electricity that is used. I think in the future, my family and I could have more organic or vegetarian meals, and use more reusable containers.
