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 family footprint
My family's footprint is above than an average carbon footprint for Croatia. My parents and my siblings are well environmentally conscious, but we are a family of 6 so all of our expanses are higher than an average. The most of CO2 is coming from home and transportation. My house is quite big and then we need a lot of light bulbs, energy to heat the rooms, hot water etc. Although we use LED light bulbs, the amount of power is still significant. We live on the countryside, but we are very near to the town where the extracurricular activities of my siblings, supermarkets and shops are,... Beacuse of that we are not driving to many kilometers in one way, but we are often going there and back few times a day. Flying by a plane is the big factor in the segment "Transportation" because we love to travel.
