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?

STOP SHOWERING!
Showeting wastes water and is bad for the evrionemnt, stop showering and the world will be good again
The solution to that wouldn't be to stop showering completely, but to lower the time that you do shower. I usually take 10-15 minute showers like most people, but if we all lowered our shower time to 5 minutes that would be beneficial towards the environment. ![]()
I dunno about you but I have no idea how you take 5 minute showers.
While I agree that showering for extended periods of time wastes water, not showering at all is unhygienic and socially unacceptable. Instead of not showering, maybe people should just not waste their time in the shower and only take 10 minute showers. ![]()
Wasting water really is bad, but being unhygienic also is. So please continue to take showers and try to lower the time you take them. (Try at least somewhere near 10 minutes or try to periodically lower the time it takes for you to shower.) Try not to use bathtubs since they use up so much water, and don't forget to turn off the tap when you're done (or using soap).
This is not true. There is a certain standard of hygiene that people need to follow and it would overall leave the world cleaner. I think the solution is to take shorter showers and only taking them when dirty. Also if there was a system where the water could turn cold after 7 minutes or less to limit comfort.
I agree that showering wastes a lot of water, but it would be really bad if you didn't shower at all, instead maybe lower the amount of time that a person is in the shower for.
Yes, wasting water is bad for the environment, but I wouldn't consider taking a short shower as wasting water.
Thought your idea has meaning to it, I would still suggest using less time to shower because hygiene is important but your idea is good.
L+Ratio you are all dirty fucks I be showering for 20+ minutes at a time
Dont be a cuckold shower long + Ratio
I do not really agree with this, because taking a 5 to 10-minute shower each day will not affect the environment that bad, and it is much more important to be clean than to have a bad environment. According to https://impactful.ninja/long-showers-en … 0emissions. taking excessively long showers is bad for the environment because of water pollution, and lots of energy consumption which leads to carbon dioxide pollution in the air. In conclusion, I think that showers if taken for the right amount of time don't really account for your carbon footprint but excessively long showers will have a greater effect on your carbon footprint.
I do not agree with this whole heartedly. I think it is good to reduce your time in the shower and the amount you shower but it is not plausible to ask people to stop showering all together. Showering for 5-10 minutes is resonable and doesn't use up too much water. This is something we all need to work on.
