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 own home
If I were to have my own home in the future, I would be sure to use energy-efficient methods to maintain it. I would obtain my electricity from solar panels, and my house would preferably be near my school/workplace in order for me to use my bike as a method of transportation. If possible, I'd like most of my food to come from a home garden, but of course, grocery stores would still be the main source.
