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?

Morgan Turner, Mooresville NC, 14
My total carbonfootprint was 20864 which was above the average for my state. The majority of my carbon footprint came from transportation. I thought that my average would be below the average in my country, but it was actually above. To bring my carbon footprint down i could walk more or ride a bike.
Your carbon footprint is really high. My carbon footprint is 6.832 kgs. I think that you often travel. You should go out with friends on foot. You should go somewhere by bike.
