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?

Rose Age: 15 // Mooresville North Carolina, US
My total Carbon Footprint (17,692 kgs) was much higher than my region's by an additional 1,774 kgs due to my high number of transportation (12,209). The odd part is I don't fly in planes, nor travel often, so all the kgs racked up were from riding in cars. I would consider myself to have a light diet but my Food category is a little above average because when I do eat processed food, it has a lot of packing. The Earth is in desperate need of environmentally friendly people and I'm more than willing to cut back on trips around town to have a beautiful home.

That is a good attitude and I am the same way. I don't travel a lot because I can't drive myself but it all adds up.
