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
Hello my name is Will I am 15 and my total for the carbon footprint was 11,622, which according to my region is below average. The most of my footprint comes from my home because I stay at the house a lot and don't go out very much. I was expecting this because I use a lot of home appliances and most likely waste quite a bit here. My goal is to start going out more and not stay at home as much which would definitely help balance out my home footprint. Besides that the others and below average and it would be nice to keep them around the same. I could do things like turn off the lights and not use 4 fans at once.
