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 Family Footprint >
My polynesian's family footprint
My family is not really aware of the environmental issue even though we are literally on an island, which means that we are easily affected by it ( through the raising water...). However, we try our best to respect nature. We compost, recycle as much as possible, compost almost everything... So, it shows that it is possible for a family to act spontaniously eco-friendly. It is only a matter of education and habits.
Some tips:
You can recycle your plastic bottle into flower pot, collect the rain to water your plants, compost egg shell and vegetable peel...
I totally agree with you !
Step by step we can really have a better behaviour for environment.
