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?

My carbon footprint
I predicted that my footprint would be about the same as the average person in
Croatia, and the world. I was slightly wrong. My total footprint was 4,472 kgs of CO2 per year, compared to
an average of 5,736 kgs for Croatia, and 3791 kg (= 8358 lb) worldwide. I am statisfied with my results although I can always do better and reduce, for example, my car use or plastic bag use. I will try to do that in the future
