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?

Becca/ Mooresville, North Carolina 15
My carbon footprint total was 11,656 kg this is higher than average because my family uses a lot of extra lights and water because we have 5 people In our family we also do extra activities like softball and karate so we use a lot of gas. My results didn't really surprise me because I know my family uses a lot. We have been doing things to lower our carbon footprint like turning off our lights when not using them and using less water.
