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's footprint
My family's footprint is pretty good for the food and the home, but the transportation is alarming. It literally doubled the home and food combined!
Maybe you can ask if you can carpool with people and try biking or another way of transportation like walking? I know my food is not that great because I am not vegetarian but something I do know is how you can try helping your transportation.(:
Another idea is to start using public transportation to get to places.
you can also try biking instead of public transport like cars and busses
mine isn't good either but that's because me and my family took a trip to Europe and the flight was like 16 hours.
You can walk or bike to places instead of using a car.
I think one way to fix it is to use other kinds of transportation like public or bike and stuff like that.but you could also plan less vacations or go out less. you could cut on the amount of times you use the car and maybe use a bike or a skate board if its a short distance.
maybe you can start riding a bike and being less in cars
Riding bikes to school or work will make the world a whole lot cleaner. You could also take public transport or carpool with a friend.
