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?

i learned that my carbon footprint would probably be less than the average person in North Carolina because i don't go very far for vacations and i don't live too far from the school either. My total footprint is 14,523. The total footprint of the region is 15,918. To improve my carbon footprint i could start walking to school more often and only riding the bus a certain amount of days each week.
I don't go far on vacations either. We usually just go to the beach. To improve my carbon footprint I could also start walking to school.
Good job yours is lower than a average person but really low compared to mine.
Yes my carbon foot print is high because of my transportation too.
Mine was similar to yours.
