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?

Carbon footprint
How big was your footprint?
mine was somewhere near 11k
i was pretty surprised my footprint was under average, because of all the traveling we do. however i go out shopping close to never, one of the main reasons it below average.
I was shocked on the result of my carbon footprint, totaling at around 12k. Although I didn’t get all the information specifically and had to average a few of the questions, I now hope to find ways to reduce it.
