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 Peyton Shuler I am 16 and from Mooresville NC USA. My carbon footprint total is 6,176. Majority came from home and is below average. I thought my total number would have been higher. To decrease my carbon footprint I could turn off water and lights when I am not using them.
Your carbon footprint was lower than mine.
I am surprised that yours is lower than mine because I thought mine was low
Mine was also near below average
