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?

LeandriaB (USA)
My name is Leandria. My total footprint is 13,548kg of CO2 per year compared to an average of 13,126. My carbon footprint is higher than the average because I am guilty of not recycling. The average for my home is 8,023kgs compared to an average of 5,065. The average for transportation is 3,222kgs compared to an average of 3,447kgs. The average for Food is 1,986kgs compared to 2,996kg. I will start recycling. I am going to call the city of Jacksonville and request for a recycling bin.
We can all start to recycle. That is a huge factor to the environment and I do believe that it can make a difference if each household starts recycling. BETTER START NOW THAN LATER a
