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?

Choosing food

angi24!

By carrying out this project i was able to calculate my carbon footprint within the society. I am quite satisfied with the results obtained despite my awareness of being able to improve my impact on the planet. In some areas I'm trying to do my best, while in others I know I can do better: particularly in choosing my food. But how can I do it? I could start by enhancing the products of my territory or organic ones, but what else could I do to reduce the portions of red or white meat?
Advice would be welcome!

Good afternoon! Thank you so much for your post and working on this carbon footprint project! One part of my carbon footprint project that I was surprised the most by is that my food footprint was on the lower scale compared to the rest of my categories. Pertaining to your question, about how to reduce red or white meat, depending on where you live you could try to consume more fish or vegetable options. Luckily, I live near seafood shops and places where high quality seafood is so I tend to eat lots of salmon or shrimp. I would suggest you to try that as one option in order to eat less meat like steak or chicken. Another way to decrease meat consumption could be finding high calorie vegetable meanings. For example, sometimes I will eat "cauliflower steaks" or other high calorie meals that can be just as delicious as meat. Some people even eat "Beefsteak Mushrooms" and put sauce on it because it has a similar steak texture and will use that to eat instead of regular steak. I will attach a picture and a link to show you what I am talking about. Thank you so much and have a great rest of your day!
