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?
Student Footprints >
james I am from North Carolina USA
MY carbon foot print is 6,862 it is below the average of the person in my area most of my carbon footprint is from food. It surprised me to see how low my carbon footprint is. I learned that my carbon footprint was lower than most people. I can reduce my carbon footprint by not driving as much to get food and grow food in my backyard.
Your footprint is really good. Having a garden in your backyard is a great idea and riding your will help as well.
My carbon footprint is almost double yours which probably means that I travel more or I am at home more.
