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- MaKennah, 15, Mooresville, NC, US.
For my Carbon footprint my total was 14,020kgs. My total is below average. The majority of my carbon footprint came from Home. My results weren't what i expected. What surprised me was that my results for my purchases weren't that high compared to everything else. I learned that there are things i can do to lower my carbon footprint. In the future I'm going to start recycling more and I'm going to start reusing things more and not by as many plastic water bottles.
That is really interesting! I enjoyed reading about your Carbon Footprint! I think you will have good result from recycling and reusing more items!! Good job!
