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 Footprint
Hi my name is Sarak Keo, and I attend Oakland High School. In my academy ESA, we talk about how greenhouse gasses are affecting our atmosphere. When I calculated my footprint I noticed that my average is 9727kg CO2 per year and the average for my region is 8689. I am 1000 kg CO2 over the average and i saw that it is more in my home and food that is making this number so high. What do you think is the best way to reduce this problem at home and with my food?
