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
Maybe to save energy, leaving your electronic things unplugged while not using them could save a lot, and besides, you don't need to keep everything in your house plugged in all day. Unplug your microwave, unplug your tv if you're not using it,unplug your lamps, etc.
