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?

Spend for Improvement
Many things that would improve our homes carbon footprint and our vehicles carbon footprint cost a lot of money. Most of the time it's not worth spending that much of our money just to improve the environment. If you want to get like an electric car that is a big investment just for the electric car especially if you just bought your other car or the car that you have is still working fine. Say you want to get the systems in your housing to become more efficient then you have to spend a ton of money to get rid of the system that is already in your house and then replace it with this new expensive one. Spending the time and money that it takes to become more efficient is not worth it to most people.
