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?

DaRon Foot Print Lineup
My name is DaRon Snipes and I'm form Mooresville, NC I am 15 years old and in class we are doing the carbon footprint project. My total in the project was 17,167, as a class average it was almost right on point but and the U.S it was way higher then average. Majority of the carbon footprint came from transport because my parents work about an hour form there jobs and the fly a lot because they work for the military.
My transportation is a high number as well. I plan on getting it to average at the least. I plan on planting more trees or things like that since walking many places isn't that much of an option for me.
That is really high transportation, I have 0 transportation but my footprint is still high.
