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?

Discovering My Carbon Footprint
My carbon footprint total was 9,524 and my region total was 15,918. I believe that my total amount for my carbon footprint was so low because I don't really travel to that many places unless I go out of town and go back up north. The only time that I usually drive is either from and to school and as well as work. On the other hand, when it comes to by home life and purchases of food and other items I'm very good at only using things that I actually need and buying things that are actually valuable to me.
