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?

Reducing my family footprint
I think the number of my family footprint is relatively high. Although we don't often travel far places, we drive a car no matter how close the place is to us. So I think we can try to ride a bike or walk to it. It's convenient and easy way for us. Even it can help improve the quality of our healths and let us feel the nature. What's more, we need to make the air-condition, TV and shower time shorter. We always spend lots of time in using them. We should restrain ourselves and pay attention to this problem. Also we need to remember to turn off lights when we leave. It's a serious problem, too.
