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 Carbon Footprint
My name is Asia, I am from Mooresville, North Carolina, USA. I am 14 years old. My carbon footprint total was 6,854, my total was below average. Majority of my footprint came from home appliances and things of that nature. My results were a lot lower than I expected, what surprised me most was my transportation results. I learned that I don't use as much as I expected but my region does use a lot of resources. What I can do to decrease my footprint in the future is use less water in my home and recycle more.
