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
Hello, My name is Caleb and i am fourteen years old. I'm from Mooresville, NC, USA. My total carbon footprint was 11,976, which is below average. I think it was below because i didn't travel that much this year. Also i didn't buy that much stuff this year either and that was way below my region. The only one I had that was average was my food. I kind of expected this because I didn't go that far when I went on vacation.
My total is lower than yours just by a little but one of my lowest was food because I try not to spend as much on food as I do everything else.
My was lower than the average too because of travel it seems that most peoples are high because they go on these vacations far away
I recommend that you buy more natural healthy foods.
Mine is lower than yours but I understand.
