Many students using our footprint calculator said that they could not pledge to reduce their home footprints because they were not making the decisions for the household. Here is your chance to design your own sustainable virtual household!
If you had your own home, what would you do to make it more energy efficient? Where would you get your electricity from? Where would your house be? Would you live near to your school or work or local transit options? Where would you get your food from?

My Family Footprint
My family footprint seems quite messed up. My family likes shopping, travelling, and a lot of other things that cost a lot of money. I personally don't really care for shopping or travelling too much unless I have to. IF I need an item, I'll get it. I don't buy things impulsively often. For travel, my family likes travelling way too much. My parents want to visit my sister in college once every three weeks, when she lives multiple hours away. This carbon footprint could be greatly lowered if we didn't also travel to places that require an airplane twice a year on top of going to my sisters college. My family's carbon footprint could definitely be lowered, but making that change would be the hard part for them.
