MY Family Footprint

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 Carbon Footprint

Graeme

Yes, my carbon footprint is 24,000. I travel a lot, and I mean a lot, plus we use our heating and cooling a lot so that adds to the total. But mainly it is the transportation. My transportation on a normal year (without covid) would be about 27,000kgs. That is transportation alone. This time it was 13,000 because of covid. But there is no way to lessen this because I am not going to just stop traveling because of this data...

If I were you, I'd definitely cut down on travelling. That's just my opinion.

Graeme

Why would I cut down on traveling, I love traveling, on top of that i drive 100 miles a week to school and back...

I go on like 3 vacations every year, so my transportation is usually extremely high. This year I was unable to go on vacations due to COVID, so my transportation is lower than it probably would be.

Sorry, I'll just fly on my magic carpet over to all of my competitions and vacations from now on lol

honestly i respect your want for travels but if you could cut down a few even like two, it'll eventually add up to not releasing so many greenhouse gasses. Another thing would be not using your main heating and cooling unit and using individual cooling/heating units in the rooms that you'll use. (:

Just invent teleportation cool

If you would want to keep traveling but also be wary of your carbon footprint then you should cut back on other technical uses and trying to compost as much as you can. But I guess you can also fly on your magic carpet.

I understand that you appretate travelling.I do too mostly. Covid has derceased your foot print but it is still pretty high. If you could travel a bit less and use different types of transportaion then that would decrease your carbon foot print.
