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 Kayla Griffin and I am from Salisbury NC, in the USA. I am 14 years old. My carbon footprint is a total of 7,151 which was about 7,000 less than my region so I was far below average. The majority of my footprint was from my home products. When I got my results I wasn't surprised I figured it would be less because my mom likes to save money. In order to reduce my carbon footprint I can stop using so much water and turn the lights off.
Yes, you probably should use less water it would benefit a lot more.
Your footprint is lower than mine but my number comes from home which doesn't surprise me because I don't go anywhere but to three places at the most on a day to day basis lol.
