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?

Why does travel have so much carbon
I was wondering how come the travel section was worth so much of the carbon footprint.I did not even fly last year and my travel went well over 5,000. Furthermore the people who did fly went almost over 20,000 on their carbon footprint in the travel section alone. Is it like this due to the amount of fuel being burned of how long the fuel is being burned in each flight.
Is travel the highest section in other countries too or only the U.S. I feel like countries like Denmark and Africa would have lower travel than the U.S. because these are countries that usually have more foot traffic. Would someone please elaborate.
