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
Kiera- Mooresville,NC,USA,14
My carbon footprint wasn`t very bad, my total is 7,317. My total was quite a bit below average, the average was 15,918. The majority of my carbon footprint was from home and food, 3234 and 3295. My results were not what I expected, I expected for it to be higher. What surprised me was how low it was when compared with others. I learned that I dont have a very big carbon footprint. In the future, I have learned to shut things off when not using them, to walk or bike more and to save on electricity.
You could also use car pooling as an option to lower your travel.
