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 is 10,443 kgs per year, which is about one thousand kgs more than the average for California. This number sounds accurate because I do travel by plane quite a bit and I have to take a bus everyday for school. Except for these two things, at home, my family recycles and we do our best to save water. Also, we have four chickens that we can give our food scraps to and we also compost.
