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
If I had my home to make it more energy efficient I would turn off the lights when I was done with them. I would also use solar panels because those get energy from the sun and turn it in to heat. I would also walk to more places to reduce the amount of pollution. I would also make sure to reduce the amount of water that I use. Lastly, I could start buying organic food. You can also maintain your possessions, carpool, and move closer to school/work according to http://www.context.org/iclib/ic35/30ways/ .
