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?

In my house...
I would encourage cycling to destinations instead of cars, or even unplug unneeded electricity
Also lower unnecessary food purchases
Another suggestion! There are many other things people like us can do around the house. For example, we can consider mulching/composting food scraps in our garden. This can put the use of food scraps in good terms and providing nutrients to the soil at the same time!
