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?

Kevin's Carbon Footprint (Mooresville, NC)
My name is Kevin and I go to school at Mooresville, North Carolina, I'm 17 years old
Transportation- 2,506 kgs
Home- 2,216 kgs
Food- 2,814 kgs
Purchases- 419 kgs
Total Footprint- 7,954 kgs
I think I should cut down on Food and Transportation because that where it's the highest
Well I love to eat so yeah. You should write more stuff. but I like that you don't purchase to much stuff.
Your carbon footprint is pretty low compared to mine so that's good! Try to eat more fruits in veggies to help save more energy. Also, try to ride bikes or walk more if at all possible.
