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?

Malia's Carbon Footprint
My name is Malia & I live in Mooresville, North Carolina in the USA. I am 15 years old & my carbon footprint was a total of 8,832, which is less than my region. The majority of it came from my home, which was a total of 5,623. I wasn't really surprised with it because I don't buy things that much & I usually walk places instead of using a car.
