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
Everything in my house would be electricity powered. I would get all my energy from solar panels. My house would be out in the country. I would live near my school because being 11 I still have to go to school and if I live close to school I could walk there. I would get my food from the grocery store and the supermarket. Also I would have a farm where I get all my fruit and vegetables.
Cool
I think that it would be great if you where able to do something like that. If everyone did that like you we wouldn't be having this type of problem. I hope you do get to do that when you are older, it would be great for the environment.
This is cool that this is what you want to do. I think by doing this, you will definitely somehow help the environment. I should probably start doing these things too. Keep up the good work.
It's really nice knowing that people like you want to try and change the world by making smart and healthy plans for the future, but what are some things that you think you could do now to make a difference?
It's good that you are making all your power from solar panels to save resources. It's also good that you are wanted to walk to school and not pollute the earth with riding or driving in a car.
That would be so cool to have a completely eco friendly house. I wish more people used solar panels and that they were easier and cheaper to obtain. Thats a great goal!
