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?

Carbo Footprint
My carbon footprint was a total footprint is 4,777 kgs of CO2 per year, compared to an average of 9,727 kgs for California, United States, and 3791 kg worldwide. My family has a very low energy use. We have solar panels giving power close to 100%. Our lights are almost always off and if not they are on a very low level. Our food consumption is probably average. And our home is our highest energy producer which to me is surprising, but I assume others are higher
