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 lower by 3,714kg than the average person in North Carolina I think its because I live in a small apartment with only my sisters and mother. we like to keep the house cold and use blankets instead of heating a lot. I think are transportation is high because we have an older car that isn't fuel efficient so we use a lot of fuel and we visit charlotte often. i wasn't surprised are footprint was low we don't eat certain foods much like pork, beef (my mother cant eat it) so we don't have that and we don't buy a lot so thats why it was lower
