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?

better home
I would live in South France, where the sun is shining. I would use regular electricity, but I would also try to use solar power. I would live near the school I'm attending, where I will walk, which is healthy for me and the earth. When I have to go further than the school, I would bike or go to the bus station to take the bus. I would grow vegetables in a little greenhouse in my garden. I would make a deal and get a good connection with farmers for milk and meat. To get eggs, I would have chickens in my garden. That is the best way for the earth to live.
