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
My name is Anthony, I'm from Mooresville North Carolina, USA and I'm 15 years old. My total carbon footprint is 17,297 mine was above average, most the carbon footprint usage came from transportation. I did expect the transportation to be pretty high because I have traveled in a plane in the last year. What shocked me the most was that the food was the second highest carbon footprint usage. What I would do to use less carbon footprint is reduce that amount I travel in a plane
