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
I was above average for the transportation and electricity. However I was low for foods. My house is larger so we use more electricity but we try to save money on it and also save money on foods and use some organic, all natural foods instead of processed foods which tend to not be as expensive. My average was around 13,500 which is about 2,000 under the average for the class.
Good job, for being very below the average for the class. Try to bring it down.
My footprint was a little under your footprint. Its good that you are trying to save money, as it also saves energy and food.
My footprint was also below the regions average.
