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
My carbon footprint was slightly higher than others. By doing this test it made me want to think about what I am doing in my daily life. I didn't realize how much I was emitting until now. I should definitely think about reducing how much carbon I am emitting.
In contrast, mine was much lower than the average. But I do agree with the fact that it made me think about what I do in my daily life and how much i'm emitting. I think since my amount is already below average, i've done a pretty good job, but i think that i can still improve more.
My footprint was a little lower then my region. And I agree that after the test was done it helped me assess my daily life, altered my daily routine, and to make a difference in my life and help others around me!
