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 name is Shane and I live in North Carolina and I am 15. My carbon footprint was 17,837 and it was above average and the majority of the carbon footprint is what I do at home. I was very surprised that it was the highest and now I know not to keep thing charging even though their fully charged. I am going to decrease my carbon footprint by using less water and electricity .
