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 names Lance Barrett, i'm 14 years old, I live in Mooresville NC, United States, and my carbon footprint was 12,253. I was surprised that my carbon footprint was below average, because out of all the things I do during the day I thought it would add up to a higher score than that. I wasn't surprised that my highest scored topic was food, because I eat a lot. I would like my carbon footprint score to stay where it is for the rest of my life
I think your footprint should stay about this balanced.
