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?

In my opinion, reducing CO2 in the atmosphere can be done in many ways. First of all, we can only use LED bulbs instead of filament bulbs that release heat energy. And now this method is a little more financially demanding, but if we set aside a little money every month, we can buy solar panels and convert it into thermal energy instead of using gas or wood, because burning these products creates a lot of CO2. Short trips like from home to the store can be done by riding a bicycle instead of starting the car, which releases a lot of CO2 through exhaust gases.
