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
Although my carbon footprint was below average where I live, it is above average around the world. Around the world, the average is 3791kg. What everyone should reduce their carbon footprint to is 1000kg so almost non of us are helping the problem of global warming.
I am just about the same. We need to decrease these footprints. Let's all try to be better about our footprints, then recalculate in 3 months. This is mine:

Sorry - didn't work. I have 9,065kgs.
I'm a bit lower at 7886, but it still could be off for all of us since most people aren't using their vehicles as much as before this pandemic. And if you don't know your gas mileage that could also have an impact on your total amount, since it isn't accurate.
