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
My carbon footprint is 15,605 kgs of CO2 per year which is higher than the average of 13,115 kgs for Florida, United States, and 3791 kg (= 8358 lb) worldwide. I think even though my carbon footprint is above average its still very good, I could still help by keeping my led lights off, use it only every once in a while or even only at night.
