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?

United States Carbon Footprint
My total carbon footprint was 13838 kg of C02 per year While this is higher than the average for my region, I was significantly lower in purchases then people in my region. One area that I could improve upon is my transportation footprint. This is significantly higher than the average on my region. I tend to drive a lot to school, sports, and drive to southern California yearly. I would like to keep doing these activities but also lower my Carbon footprint. This could be reduced greatly by carpooling to school, sports and other activities.
