My family's footprint is pretty big. we have a large house and we keep it heated with gas. There are also 5 of us so the environmental costs add up. I was wondering for some tips for things to ask my family to do to lower our carbon footprint as a family?

You and your family could try to turn things off when you're using them, and can try to use public transportation, biking more often, and using blankets instead of heating at night.

You can turn off more lights, take shorter showers, or bike scooter walk or skatebord more.

I think you could get solar panels. It would be expensive, but if you heated your house with solar panels, it would be much more sustainable.

You could maybe turn off the water while brushing your teeth and taking shorter showers and baths--- and maybe on hot days just take cold showers? Just a thought.

You could try carpooling and/or taking public transportation. Another idea (if possible depending on how far you live from day to day activities) is biking and/or walking. I really enjoy biking because it gets you to places pretty fast and is a good source of exercise.

for thelok I try to turn off things but my ADD makes it really hard to stay focus and remember things so some times I leave things on.

you could try to turn off lights when you leave rooms and not us heating and cooling as much.

You can try to turn off thing when you're not using them and to bike to school.

In addition you could also try to be more conscious of your water use and also start to make it a daily habit to place trash in the right bins.
