If I had my own home, I would use solar panels to produce 100% of the house's electricity.  I would purchase high efficency toilets, washing machines, sprinklers and dish washers.  I would grow my own food in the back yard and live a vegan lifestyle.  If I had my own home, I would recycle all of my waste and compost the food scraps.  I would also own a hybrid electric car.  If I am able to achieve any of these things, I will be able to reduce my carbon footprint extremely.

I completely agree. Although it is expensive to do many of these things, the benefits are great. I especially like the idea of using the solar panels to produce all of the energy for your home. Additionally, because I live across the street from my elementary school, I have found that being in walking distance to school is very efficient.

I agree with this as well. When I tested my own carbon footprint, I discovered that the energy usage in my house was way over the average. I believe most of the energy wasted was from the plethora of incandescent lights. If i had my own house, I would try to use LED and CFL lights instead of the incandescent bulbs that waste energy.

I love your idea

Nice idea about the solar panels, but they aren’t the cheapest you know, but I still think that I can implement it in a way..

I agree with you on one thing. It will be better and more efficient but all of you ideas will cost a lot of money. So on average it will be harder for people to get all of the supplies and tools that you proposed in your idea.

I understand where you are coming from, but have you looked into the negative impacts of solar panels? Also they are highly inefficient. I think nuclear power, wind energy, and hydropower are probably cleaner and more efficient forms of energy.

I agree with you about this. Your carbon footprint would be reduced, though it may be expensive to achieve some of those things you listed.
