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 footprint was overall 15,428 which is lower than the average which is 15,918. My transportation was 10,871.When split up into sections my home on average gives off 6,954 kgs of CO2 which is higher than the average for my region. I came to the conclusion that it is due to the square feet and the use of gas to warm and cool both water and the home. Food gives 3,565 kgs of CO2 which is lower
Good, you carbon footprint was a little over the average of out reason but your transportation was a little overboard.
Your transportation is pretty high, a good way to reduce it is to try carpooling/public transport
thats good you need to lower the transportation try carpooling
Your transportation was high you need to lower the transportation.
Maybe do something different about your transportation to bring it down .
I think your footprint was good just dont be diving all around and wasting stuff.
