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 Jozie Costello. I'm 14 years old. Resident of Mooresville, NC. My carbon footprint was 20,769. My footprint was above average. I wasn't surprised when I saw this. My transportation is a huge part of it cause my family travels a lot. I can improve my imprint by traveling less.
Your total was really high like mine and most of mine was transportation
Transportation can surprise you
Transportation can always be high.
You total was really high. But a lot of peoples highest is transportation, which is really surpassing.
You should start carpooling with your friends. So your transportation won’t be so high.
You should try to carpool with friends, or try to walk to decrease your transportation average.
Traveling less will decrease your transportation so thats good
Riding a bike would help too.
consider finding other ways to travel besides car and to try to travel less offen
Maybe traveling by bike would reduce your footprint
