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 carbon footprint was much higher than the average American at just over 35,160. Of that, 26,690 was just transportation. That was because of the number of flights I took last year. Unsurprisingly, the rest was from my home consumption. I could change this by taking fewer flights, but to the destinations, one needs to reach are either out of reach or far enough where one cannot use any other mode of transportation.
