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
Hi, I´m a student from Spain. My total footprint is 6411 kg, around 500kg less than the average in Spain. I produce 846 g at home, 3606 kg with food, 371 kg in purchases, and 1885 kg in transportation. I think I should eat less meat to lower my carbon footprint because meat contaminates a lot, and I should buy more 0 km clothes and food.
Hi, I'm a student from France. My total footprint is 7663kg, in the average in France. I produce 2849 kg at home, 2872 kg with food, 196 kg in purchases, and 1746 kg in transportation. You shouldn't eat less meat but buy more local and organic food. In France we have a lot of diverse products and several farms are organic.
