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?

Total Carbon Footprint
My name is Parker. I live in Mooresville, NC in the United States and I am 14 years old. My total carbon footprint was 24,850 kgs. My total carbon footprint is over the average footprint in my region. The majority of my carbon footprint came from home which was 14,433 kgs. My my results came in I was a little surprised. I thought that I was going to have a small carbon footprint. To reduce my carbon footprint I will need to focus on the home aspect of the footprint. I need to figure out a way to bring that number down in the future.
Your footprint was a lot higher than mine. I was surprised with my results too
My total footprint was lower, But I was pretty shocked at my transportation results, not so much for home.
Mine mostly came from transportation,I did not think that our carbon footprint would be even close to what the results ended up at.To bring down your carbon footprint at home you would probably need to turn off lights and water when you are not using them.
My footprint was a lot lower then yours and my home was also my highest
Wow thats high you should turn things off at home when they are not being used or when you leave
yours was really high i think you sholdnt really drive so much but my home was around the same amount as yours
