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?

Darrius Heaggans
My name is Darrius , I live in Mooresville, North Carolina. I am 14 years old.My carbon footprint is above average at a 22,390 kgs. I think we should do more efficient things in my house , like turning of the lights more often when we are not in a room. I need to walk and ride bikes more often.
I agree
Those are some great ways to get rid of a carbon foot print. In my carbon footprint it showed that my house had the largest carbon footprint.
Riding bikes and turning lights off are good ways to reduce the carbon footprint.
