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
Hello! My footprint is 8,079 kg of CO2 per year, and the average is 17,956 kg of CO2 in South Carolina per year. For my region, my carbon footprint is at least half of the average except my purchases which is about 1/3 of the average. I have never flown anywhere or been in an airplane so my transportation footprint is quite low. I still think my carbon footprint could be lower so I am trying to focus on everything I use and everything I don't use and get rid of.
Wow. Nice footprint. You must be so proud...
That's a nice footprint you go there very impressive
