MY Family Footprint

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?

Transportation and what I can fix

sammo baush

I know I can definitely change my carbon foot print because my transportation level is 8359 kgs. the way I can reduce this is by using public transportation,biking,and carpooling.


         !IF ANYONE ELSE HAS IDEAS TO HELP PLEASE PUT THEM IN THE COMMENTS!

If you have friends that bike then go with them. If you have friends that have a medium car or you do use that to carpool in.

Those ideas are very good ones you can try using those ideas as many times as you can and very often.:D

I think air travel is a real problem and we should do our best to find other ways to travel.

emitun

Yes, I also agree with that. But you can also see if you can walk more and bike because it's good exercise and you can get places. big_smile

But still even w/o air travel your travel on ground could be very high.

Well, an airplane uses way much more gas than your car does, so it's better to use your car. smile   At least 100g vs. At least 10g   (g=gallons)

If you live next to any of your friends offer to carpool or ask to ride a bike with them this will motivate them by not using a extra car while having fun at the same time.
