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?

If i had the chance to design my perfect energy efficient home I would have a smart home system that allows me to control the amount of energy I am using from a tablet and will send alerts based on a limit I set and when I am letting out to much emissions. My energy would be both solar and hydro so I have renewable options even in bad weather. The location of my smart home will be on a farm like acre with lots of trees and a fast glowing river. I will have a vegetable farm for food and will continue to be vegetarian. I would own a fully electric car that I will use only when completely necessary because I will live close to my place of work and school.
