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?

karter, mooresville NC, USA, 16
My carbon footprint was 18,558. I was a little bit above average, because my transportation was so high. My transportation was 15,450. I really did not think my footprint was going to be that high. In the future I could not drive/fly as much as im doing now.
We have the same issue for transportation, transportation for me was 15,734kgs.
My total was a little higher then yours, we have the same problem for transportation
My carbon footprint was a lot bigger than yours. You could defiantly decrease your carbon footprint by traveling less.
Thats a really good idea to fix your problem, also try to use more public transportation
