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?

Recycling as a Family
Overall my family drinks a lot of liquid each day, especially water, so therefore we use lots of plastic bottles. In our kitchen under the basin, we have a big trash box in which we throw squashed up water bottles after every use. In a few weeks, we take them to recycling centers so they can be reused for a better good.
That's Great! A lot of people just don't care and throw everything in the bin but its good you have a seperate bin for the recycling. I have that as well We have three recycling bins. 1 for recycle, 1 for plastic bottles, and 1 for cans.
