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?

Family Carbon Footprint
My family's carbon footprint is below average, but could still use work bringing it down. I tend to be cautious about the choices I make that affect the environment but the 3 other family members of mine don't have the same thought process as me. They think everything should be easy and time efficient even if that means sacrificing the environment. A good way to really lower our carbon footprint as a whole is to invest in cloth bags instead of using so many plastic bags. Anyone have any other ideas to help bring down a carbon footprint?
