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
Hi, my name is Petar, I am 17 years old, I live in Varna-Bulgaria and I learn in PGSAG " Vasil Levski". My carbon fotprint total was 3 155kgs.
I think my carbon footprint is pretty good compared to the redion, but I would like to know your opinion.
Trasportation: 710 kgs (mine) 442 kgs (region)
Home: 1 924 kgs (mine) 1 944 kgs (region)
Food: 464 kgs (mine) 1 518 kgs (region)
Purchases: 57 kgs (mine) 128 kgs (region)
What do you think about it?
Mine was lower than the region too! Good Job!
I had a larger transportation then my region too! Good Job!
This is a good carbon footprint for the region!
I am from the USA and my carbon footprint had a total of 13,038kg. Comparing to your footprint it is very high! Compared to where I am from it is lower than the average.
Your total carbon footprint was lower than mine 
Your Carbon Footprint is very good! I live in the USA. Most of your carbon is lower then your region which is very good. My transportation is also very high compared to my region. I think having a low carbon compared to your region is really good.
Your Carbon Footprint is really good. You have lower scores compared with your region, I think it's a good job!
Your carbon production level much lower than mine! I am interested about how far is your school from your home? I have high results in the transportation category due to my house being 13 kilometers away from my school.
Your carbon production is such low! But maybe you should travel by public transort? Think about that
You're carbon footprint is low, just like mine. Ways to lower your footprint for at home is changing your light bulbs. Instead of using fluorescent light bulbs, you could use LED bulbs. Also, to make sure you turn off television and lights when they're not being used. Recycling also reduces your carbon footprint. You can recycle water bottles, cardboard boxes, aluminum cans, etc. You could reuse plastic bags from grocery stores or take reusable bags with you when you go shopping. This will help reduce your carbon footprint
I believe that your carbon footprint is very low, which is great! I live in the US and am a very conservative person yet still had an average footprint of 28,580kgs.
Your Total Carbon footprint was pretty low. I am from the US and my region’s average carbon footprint is 15,918 kgs. It would be interesting to know how your transportation is so low as my class’ average was 11,665 kgs. Your food production is also much lower than your region’s which is a good thing.
