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 9,178kg. The average total for the carbon foot print in my area was 11,838kg. I was surprised that mine was 2,660kg less than the average in my area. I think this might be because I live close to everywhere I normally go. This cuts down on the amount of car use, which means that less fossil fuels are released into the air.
