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?

Brayden Drysdale of Race City, USA.
My carbon footprint is nearly halve of that of my entire school, with a purchases footprint of one-hundred and fifty, and a transportation footprint not too much larger, my largest footprint of the categories is food, which is average for my area. I don't really see much need to reduce my footprint, considering my grand total is 7,761 kilograms in comparison to North Carolina's average of 15,918. There's really not much I could do to reduce my footprint without starving myself.
