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 Footprint >
if i owned my own house
If I were to own my own house I would make my house use electricity efficiently. First I would set up solar panels for electricity. Also I would heat my house with wood. Third I would grow my own food and hunt for my food (my family already does that).
Nice, would the wood be a supplemental heating source or your main source of heating?
mostly
So you would most likely live near or next to a forest and cut down trees for lumber for yourself or would you buy the wood. Or maybe even a little bit of both.
we cut our wood and buy the wood.
Burning wood still causes CO2 to go in the atmosphere.
what dose not emit CO2.
