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?

Ways of reducing our carbon Footprint
There are many simple ways to reduce our carbon footprints. three simple ways is by taking shorter showers. this not only help save water but helps with green house gases going out when using the water heater. the second is by carpooling. this will help instead of taking public transportation or driving by yourself. switching to electric cars can also be helpful to global warming. the last way is to eat less meat. for my family this will be difficult since most of our food requires meat such as tacos, tamals, and pozole which are foods we eat frequently. one last way to save energy and to reduce our footprint would be to shut off lights when were not in the house or in the room. this will also help with your electrical bill! Overall there can be many simple and easy ways to help reduce global warming and are carbon footprint if we just put a little effort into it.
