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's Footprint
My family's carbon footprint is pretty high; we do a lot of travelling, and we sometimes aren't as energy conscious as we could be. However, my individual footprint is smaller than the rest of my family's individual footprints. This is because I'm a vegetarian, and the rest of my family isn't. This could greatly decrease my family's carbon footprint if they would become vegetarian too. Or, at least eat a little less meat. We could also take less flights, or at least attempt to take nonstop flights only.
