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 footprint-Iceland
Hello, my average carbon footprint was 25,167, which is way above the average number in Iceland. The average is around 7,000. The reason for my number is mostly transportation. I travelled a lot last year, took 10 flights. And I live 15km from the town my school is in, and there are no public transportations to get from my house to school, so I have to take my car. All my friends live in the town and I drive regularly to visit them. My footprints in other categories are around the average number in Iceland.
