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 is pretty average, as we try to be as eco-friendly as we can, but we fall short in some areas. We recycle plastic often and use electric vehicles to go and from school, but the area we need to improve most on is what type of food we eat. In an ideal world, if I wanted to reduce as much carbon emissions as we possibly could, we would have to live within walking distance within our school, use all electric vehicles, eat more locally sourced foods, etc. Unfortunately, we can't just easily change some of these things in our day to day life, but we'll do as much as we can to reduce our carbon footprint.
