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?

Carbon footprint
1. A little over 22,000
2. I was over 7,000 the average in the U.S and 19,000 over the global average.
3. I live far from school and I play quite a bit of video games.
4. I could cut down on the games and maybe heat and cool the house less when it is not needed.
