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
Jaedyn
Mooresville, North Carolina, United states
14
My total carbon foot print was 13,688
My foot print was below average
Most of my footprint came from my home 10,761
I was shocked at how high my home was in the end
I thought my footprint would be higher in transportation since we go places often.
I learned that even the little things you do in your everyday life can really affect the earth more than you think.
I could decrease my footprint by decreasing my home by turning off more lights.
