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 Sarah and I'm from Mooresville, NC, USA. I'm 14. My carbon footprint was 9.399, which is below average for my state and my country. Most of it came from food. I didn't think I would end up being below average for my state or country since I don't usually focus on environmental issues. I thought I would end up being average or maybe a little bit above. In the future, I might be able to decrease my carbon footprint even more by eating more organic and local food products.
your footprints is really low
