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
Madison
Mooresville,NC, United States

My total was 542,413, above average, majority of my footprint came from the transportation aspect of things
I was very shocked when I saw it because when I look at everyone else theirs was low I learned the more you do the greater the footprint.
In the future ways to help would be to limit my use of transportation in the world.
