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?

Solar power
I would have a house in Europe so I could use public transportation instead of driving. I would also have my house be small and fully solar powered. I would also bike as many places as possible to avoid crowded trains and buses. I would keep my lights off whenever I didn't need them
This is difficult to do, but would help a lot
big energy plants should switch from burning coal and oil for energy to having solar panels, because in the long run it's a more profitable idea.
