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?

NC Carbon Footprint
My name is Brittany. I live in Mooresville NC USA, and I am 14 years old. My total footprint is 21,190. My footprint was over the average. Most of my footprint came from my transportation because I travel a lot. When I got the total of my footprint, I wasn't surprised because of how much I travel. To improve my footprint in the future, I going to try not to travel as much.
