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
My family is always driving places, turning on lights, or using home appliances that require energy. Lately, from my own experience, I have noticed that turning of lights when we aren't using them, unplugging computers or phones once they are fully charged, and reusing bags and water bottles have decreased our carbon footprint extremely. We have also focused on carpooling more often, using public transportation, biking or walking.
