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?

Where your food comes matters
My family's food score was surprisingly high. I never thought about how where your food comes from actually mattered. I knew what we had in our fridge probably wasn't the healthiest, but I didn't think it would effect our carbon footprint. After seeing our score it made me want to honestly get healthier options, like organic or vegetarian options. I'll have to make sure to go grocery shopping with my mom next time!
