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 is lower than the average, at around 10,415. This is because I don't really do anything at home, just a laid back life. My food is a little higher because I go out to eat after sporting events. My transportation is low because I don't go anywhere. My Purchases is lower because I don't buy a whole lot. And my food is low because I don't eat that much.
You don't Have to go out to eat after every sport event
