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?

The highest category of mine was found in home energy. This amounted to 7,164 kilograms out of a total of 10,785 kilograms of the CO2 that was released.

Mine was in home energy, but I was also very surprised by how close it was to my transportation. Definitely need to change my lightbulbs and get a new car!
Mine was Transportation due to driving so much to work and vacations cross country.
