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 pretty low, 3,178 kgs to be exact. I think it is like this because my family doesn't have heating or cooling in our house, and I am vegetarian so that also lessens it. I live near a grocery store so if I need anything I just walk, and I also just walk to school.
