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 Carbon Footprint
My name is Tyler age 15 from Mooresville, North Carolina, United States. My carbon footprint total was 12878 which was lower than my region and the majority came from my home. I was surprised by this because I don't really do much for the environment. The reason it was lower is because of my transportation, it was almost 1000 lower than my region. In the future I don't think i'm going to change anything in the future but I guess I could could limit the amount of water I use.
