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
Hi, My name is Matte. I live in the United States. My carbon footprint is 30,937 I am extremely disappointed in the way my footprint has become. I am going to try my hardest to help reduce the transportation I use. Most of this comes from my vacations but my transportation area is 24,850. I need to reduce transportation by not using cars and can reduce the amount of vacations I take per year. I am aware this will receive bad comments, shoot away 
Hello, that is a very good low number for your yearly footprint. It could get put down a little bit more though. I would agree a those trips would be probably causing the slightly higher than average score.
Hello Matte. If you want to reduce you carbon footprint, you want to reduce the amount of times you drive. I agree with that because when traveling on vacation, you tend to drive a lot causing your footprint to be a lot higher.
Hey Matte. Looks like we have a lot in common with our high average in transportation. Reducing vacation travels will be hard but would make an impact on your carbon footprint.
Hi Matte. In order to reduce your carbon footprint you need to seriously reduce your transportation. It is very high and maybe you should take less trips and or find other ways to travel.
Hi, i think that cutting back on some of the trips you take will help your footprint be a lot lower.
Hey Matte, I think if you you want your footprint to be lower than you should cut back on some of the trips that you take
Matte, I like how you are trying to make a change in the world instead of not caring.
I think what makes it high are the trips.... But you can lower it in other ways!
