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?

A House that produces the least CO2
My house would be next to a big lake so I can collect water from the ocean every day for watering my garden so I don't have to buy food from the store. I would have solar panels to get my electricity for cooking, lights(which would be LED), and electronics; TV, phone, gaming system. I would have no heaters or air conditioning. during the winter I would just have lot's of blankets and during the summer I could just jump in the link. I would have a farm right next to my house that would have pig, cow and chicken so that I get dairy and beef from the cows, eggs and chicken from chicken, and pork from pig. I would get fish from the lake. this house would be a great for reducing CO2.
Lake not Ocean.(oops)
