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 is 555,529. I was a little surprised about my score but the main reason it is so high is because I am busy a lot and do a lot of traveling, wether it's driving after school for practice or taking a plane to another state or country. My transportation portion of the footprint was 549,864. That was just about the total amount of my footprint! The reason it was so high is because I took 10 planes, and have activities after school just about every day.
That is very surprising hat the Carbon footprint is 555,529.
