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?

Hi, my name is Claire, and my total footprint is 9609 kgs, which is about 100 kgs less than the average footprint in my region. I would make my home more energy efficient by getting my electricity from solar panels. By using solar panels, I would be able to save a lot more money monthly. According to Project Sunroof, a Google project, assuming my monthly electric bill is $90, I would save 99 dollars monthly and $13,000 over 20 years. I would live in a pretty sunny area so that the solar panels could work efficiently. I would also like to live in the city. That way I would live closer to shops/stores, my workplace, and or a transportation station so that I can walk or use a method of transportation that is better for the Earth. My family buys organic food, so I would continue to purchase that from the grocery store since it is more beneficial for the environment. According to the SFGate, 80% of Americans' protein comes from meat, which is unhealthy environmentally. I would try to buy less meat and more non-meat proteins, like nuts, eggs, seeds, beans, tofu, etc.
