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 Foorprint_Emma Mooresville NC, USA
My Carbon footprint compared to my other classmates really wasn't as bad as I expected. My total was only 15,222 which is under our regional average. The highest in my foot print was my transportation which was above average. The rest of my data was under the average though. I would consider changing my lifestyle to better my footprint and to try and lower the national average. Somethings that I already do at my home is we use power conserving light bulbs, plant a vegetable garden, and we make our own compost.
What about your transportation? how would you fix that?
