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?

Zach A. (Mooresville, NC, USA)
My carbon footprint was higher than average and most of my footprint came from the Home usage. I was shocked by the fact that I used so many different things in my home that effected our environment so much and I learned that I need to cut back on certain things in my daily actions. Lastly In the future I will decrease lots of different things in my home usage to help our environment.
