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 and Carpooling
I noticed that my family's carbon footprint in transportation is over 20,000 kgs over the average in our region, which got me thinking about environmentally friendly ways to travel. For my family, I think that carpooling is the solution to reduce our footprint. We travel to Palo Alto every Tuesday and Thursday for my soccer practice, and to school everyday with no one else to carpool. If we founded a solid plan to carpool with others, we would be giving a helping hand and saving planet Earth.
