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's footprint
After taking this survey and seeing the difference between my family's footprint, the average, and other people's, I realized that my family wastes a lot and could greatly reduce our family footprint. For example, we don't always efficiently use the electricity. Even though we may be in another room, we may forget to turn off the television in the living room or forget to turn off the lights. Simple things like switching off the light when you leave a room or unplugging chargers can greatly reduce our C02 emissions. My family has recently started to try and limit our CO2 emissions related to our house, and we are getting on fine.
