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 had to design my dream home to be sustainable I would make some changes to help our earth. I would probably want to live near the ocean and use tidal energy. I would use solar tiles to save energy. I would also get the app on my phone so I could turn off the light from far away incase I forget to so it wouldn’t be on all day. I would also want to live near common places that I would go to a lot. Such as stores, the park, school, and stuff. I could ride my bike or walk to the stores instead of polluting the air with driving my car. Overall I would try to make my house as eco-friendly as possible while still making it look good.
That sounds like it would do great for the environment. I wish everyone could do the same as you. It would help out a lot.
I agree that you should make changes for the earth and our environment, also it sounds great to live near parks, stores, school, etc so you don't have to use your car to cause even more pollution.
I wish ideas like this were more realistic in todays society. That would be so cool.
