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?

Electricity
Work with your family to make habits of turning off the lights, the TV, and any other electronic when they are not in use
I think we can all do this
we can also use new technology like led light bulbs to help conserve energy.
I agree. If everyone can make these things a habit in their daily lives it would have a big impact on climate change and could influence people to switch to a greener lifestyle.
Yeah me to I think that if others could change we should be able to change our lifestyles too!
Yes I agree. That adds a lot of our electricity that we are use. We should get used to turning off the lighs and when devices and our battery when we dont use them. Because it says that we consume about two-thirds of the roughly 100 quads (quadrillion Btu) of energy each year witch is a lot and some of the electricty comes from us leaving ligths on and other devices when there not at use.
We can also get light bulls that comsume less energy. We can also have a reasonable time when we shower.
