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?

Food affecting our Carbon Footprint
Our carbon footprint is affected by everything we do in our daily lives. One thing that does affect our carbon footprint a lot if the type of food we eat. Some foods that increase our carbon footprint a lot include beef, cheese, dairy, chocolate, shrimp, coffee, rice, and so on. These foods are very common, but by reducing the amount of these that we digest can help decrease our carbon footprint by a lot.
