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
I was astonished to see how high my carbon footprint is and that it is almost all entirely due to traveling. My carbon footprint is over 23,000 kgs of C02 per year and over 16,000 of these kgs are from the 16 flights I have taken in the past year. I had never considered the extent of carbon which traveling in an airplanes emits.
