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 my own home, I would make sure it would be the most economy friendly house ever! I would make sure to install solar panels on the roof to help with the amount of electricity used in our house to source many things such as outlets, lightbulbs, and more. I would also make sure to use high efficency toilets, washing machines, sprinklers and dish washers. I would grow my own food in the back yard to help eliminate all the transportation costs and fuel from buying food from stores or online. If I had my own home, I would recycle all of my waste and compost the food scraps.
