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, Cole C, USA
My carbon footprint was a little bit under the average of everyone else. I was very shocked to use how bad mine really was, which made me extremely shocked to see how bad the average carbon footprint is. The averages for everyone's carbon footprint differs all over the world. I believe those differences exist because of the different opportunities certain people have that others don't.
Its ok my carbon footprint wasn't very high either, but i'm trying to go outside more and do a lot more.
