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 Proof house! ( If I could have one. )
Sadly, I cannot have a a really cool eco-friendly house. But if I could, this it what it would be like! Yaaaaaaaaaay! Ok, so I would have a modern house like the one in the picture, but it would have an AMAZING greenery roof. You know? Like the ones with grass on them? Ok then. So next I will have a water filterer that takes the water from a nearby lake or uses rainwater for my showers or washing my hands. After the water from there gets used, it goes to my greenery roof. Oh! and I would have solar pannels! I would also have a nice ivy cover on one wall. It says from multiple sources that plants have their own cooling system in summer and heating system in winter. So it will naturally heat and cool my house! Also on my greenery roof I will grow my produce! I will also have cats and lizards and dogs for pets'n stuff. yay.

I found this very confusing... my total was 3,153 for the total carbon footprint. I don't get why you put a picture of a house and not your carbon footprint.
