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 carbon footprint for food is a bit higher than the average. If I did have more control over the food. I would bring reusable bags when shopping for food. I would also go to more local food markets either walking or using public transportation. I would also eat less meat.
This is a good idea! Because of the amount of greenhouse gases that meat and animal farms emit, limiting meat consumption helps the environment a lot, and lowers your carbon footprint
