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?

Allie London
Hello! My name is Allie London, I am 15 years old. I live in Mooresville, North Carolina, located int the United States. My total footprint was 32,177, my average is above average of everyones in my community. Most of my average came from my transportation category. I'm not at all surprised about my results, because I have a big family. In order to lower my carbon footprint I could car pool more, and walk home more.
