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
My family's footprint is really good. We think really well about the environment and we make all the big decisions when we are making changes in our house so it comes out in favor of the nature. The only thing I would like to change is the location of our house. We live just outside a town, so we always have to use a car to get to school and work and so on. The pros of living in a rural area is that we have a really big garden so it is possible to grow a lot of vegetables and berries. Me and my family try to use as little electricity as we can and we use the water to its fullest. The water from the sinks in the house goes into some sort of cleaning machine and then it goes into the ovens, then it goes around in the pavement outside to heat it up and then it goes out in the hot tub.
