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 name is Aidan, I am 15, I live in Mooresville NC, and my carbon footprint was 23709. This surprised me because I didn't think Id be above average, but because I usually take 2 trips From NC to New York city which take 6 hours by plane it added a lot to my footprint. I plan on reducing my carbon footprint by taking less trips by plane
I would just suggest that you reduce your traveling.
