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 shelby and i’m 15 and i live in mooresville north carolina. my carbon footprint was a little bit less than average, it came out to about 12,033. i thought mine would be above average because i’m always going places and always leaving lights on at my house etc. my home was extremely high because my family uses heat all year round, but my transportation wasn’t as high as i thought it was going to be. i’m kind of glad that i wasn’t above average though because that means that i’m not making that much of an impact on anything.
