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?

My Carbon Footprint
Hannah Mooresville NC USA Age 14
My carbon footprint was 10626. Compared to my region I was low. In transportation I was low due to having everything close to my house. I was below in home because I'm never home and when I am I use natural light. I was higher in food because I always go out to eat instead of at home. I was below in purchases because I don't really go shopping a lot
I am never home to and don't really go shopping
My home section was very close to matching my region; it was only about 200 away. This is most likely caused by the ridiculous amount of heating and cooking we do.
I am the same way for home because I am always traveling so im never home
I was also below in purchases and I in house because I am never home.
I use natural light
