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: Chelsey, 15, Mooresville, NC, US.
My carbon footprint was lower than my region. My total was 13, 936 kg of carbon. The majority of my footprint was from the home. I wasn't surprised because I don't travel a lot on vacations. What surprised me was how high my home carbon footprint was. I think future actions I can take is to use less of the commodities in my home.
