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 eco house
If I had my own house I would place it in such a way as I can go to school or work with a bicycle or on the floor. I would use as much natural light and economic light bulbs. I would use solar panels as a source of energy. I would like to have a large garden where I can grow my own vegetables, have my own orchard, and grow my own animals because i would know what I eat and where the food comes from.
