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?

Simple Steps
When I calculated my carbon footprint(4,727 kg), I was very surprised to find out that even though my footprint was one of the lowest in the class, a little over half of my total carbon footprint was home related. It made me realize how simple steps like turning off the light when you leave a room, or shortening time in the shower could make a positive impact on my carbon footprint.
