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?

Myanna's Carbon Footprint
My name is Myanna. I am from Mooresville,North Carolina in the United States. I am 16 years old. My Carbon Footprint is pretty average overall compared to my class. My total was 18,302 kgs. The majority of my footprint came from the home section. I was surprised when I found that out because I thought it would be either transportation or food. I learned that I waste a lot of energy at home as well as transportation. For the future I plan on being mindful of me and my family and the way we use our energy.
Hello Myanna, my name is Dennis and I just read your comment. It's good for you to plan on being mindful, hopefully you can lower the carbon footprint very soon.
