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
My total carbon footprint is 9,219kgs of co2 per year. My carbon footprint is higher than the average carbon footprint. I think my footprint is higher than the average because I live with 4 other people. I can reduce my carbon footprint by reducing the amount of home and food.
Yes, I agree. It really depends on how many household members do you have. For example, I live with two other people and my carbon footprint is 3,352 kgs of CO2 per year. But, if we look a litlle bit better, we can realise that both of us as individual has pretty similar count of kgs.
