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 total carbon footprint was 14,127 my total did surprise me cause it was above average that the other kids in my class I think the reason why cause of electricity and water I think we take water for granted we use it when we don't even need it I think that is the biggest problem we have in this wold is we take stuff for granted.What I'm going to do in the future is reserve my water more turn off the lights when I don't need them.
