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 Foot print
My Family's carbon foot print is 7,711 lbs, so this topic made me think about how much we contribute in our world ,I agree that small habits like using less electricity (Ex: turning off the lights of your house anytime you leave the room) and recycling (Ex: I use a lot of carboard to make animals to hang on my wall ) and can really lower our footprint over time .It helped me understand that even simple changes big or small at home can make a HUGE difference.
