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
When I first calculated my carbon footprint it was high. In my house we would use electricity like crazy. Part of it was me but my brother would sit for hours watching Netflix, talking to friends, and play on his PlayStation at the same time. Now that he is out of the house maybe we will use less.
