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 carbon footprint wasnt very bad. My total was 12,497. It was a bit lower then the average person in NC. My food and home were the largest which was expected since i have a big family. What surprised me was how low purchases were. What i can do is turn off lights when no ones using them and take shorter showers, turning off water, ect. I could also get ore organic foods.
My total was about 8,000 and the highest was home
I think taking shorter showers and trying to turn off water when you're not using it could definitely help lower your Carbon Footprint
You could try turning off the water whenever you aren't using it at the moment and turning of lights when you don't really need them on for what you're doing, this could possibly decrease the footprint.
u could turn lights off more and take shorter showers
