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 ideal home
So first of all I would do as much as possible to limit anything that would harm the environment like use solar panels or candles but at the same time I would use a little electricity. I would make sure I could walk or bike anywhere I needed to go and that my family and I wouldn't use up so many recources and pollute the air. I mean we might have a landline but we don't need a lot of technology. People get addicted and they never leave it alone. Like no one has a real social life they have twitter and Facebook and fancy phones.
