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 little higher than average. I live far away from school, so my consumption of carbon in transportation is around 400 kgs higher than average. Unfortunately, there is no way to change it because the distance between home and school is too long (25 km) to walk or even ride a bike. That is why I have to try to lower my consumption of carbon at home as much as possible. I am also going to convince my family to help me in this quest, and hope that we will succeed.
