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?

Sink Water Container
More times than I'd like to admit, I've found myself dumping water into the sink. Recently my family put a container next to the sink for this extra water. We use the water from the container to water our plants. The bucket has helped us save a great deal of water, and has probably lowered our carbon footprint. I've found that having the container next to the sink is really effective, because it takes no more effort to put water into the bucket than to dump it into the sink.
