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?

Carbon Footprint Mooresville, North Carolina
Hey I'm Elijha and I'm 15 from Mooresville, North Carolina USA. My Carbon footprint was 13,725kgs, which is below average for my region. Most of my carbon footprint came from transportation. It was lower than I was expecting, this surprised me because I wasn't expecting that much to come from just transportation, I learned that I should not travel that much or just walk to places. What I can do to lower my carbon footprint is travel less and walk more.
