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?

I would purchase solar panels, however they are quite expensive so money is key
WOWOWOWOWOWO THIS IS A GR8 IDEA
Although this may be true, if you own a house and do not rent, solar panels are a very worthy investment. It is estimated that the cost of solar panels begins to SAVE YOU MONEY after roughly 4-5 years of having the panels installed. So essentially, they are very much worth it if you plan to live in your current house for more than 5 years, and if you ever do decide to sell the house, the inclusion of solar panels can increase market value on the house itself, or "sweeten the deal" for a potential buyer.
Yeah even if it is expensive in the short term, it ends up saving a lot in the long term. You can even sell your excess energy and make money off of it.https://pureenergies.com/us/how-solar-w … ing-works/
