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?

Carbon Footprint
My name is Noah and I go to Mooresville High School in Mooresville, NC. My carbon footprint total is 150, 661kgs. It's more than the average in North Carolina and I was very surprised that most of it was from transportation. I learned that even doing the simplest activity like riding to your friends house and buying gifts produces a lot of carbon. In the future I plan to reduce the amount of carbon I produce by riding more of my bike and walking.
Yours close to mine but much lower. My transportation was my second highest one,
That sounds like a good idea. By doing that you can bring down your transportation.
I practically had similar on what you had but my total was way lower than what you had, but i agree on walking and riding a bike more
