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'm Ciara, 14, and I'm from West New York, NJ. My total Carbon Footprint was 8,685, and it’s below average, the majority of my carbon footprint came from Home. I was expecting it to be food because I’m a hungry individual, but the other results were actually what I thought to be, I learned that my family and I need to start to shut off anything that we are not using and also not to waste all the water.
My carbon footprint was also lower than average and most of my carbon footprint also came from my house too
My carbon footprint was also lower but my family shuts off lights and water around the house.
