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 like to make sure that I do not use all of the appliances. I would also make sure that I am not using my electricity to much to save it. I would run the dishwasher, washer, dryer, TV, phone charger only when I have too. I would still get my electricity form fossil fuels though because I think they are the most efficient. I would like my house to be away from other houses and kind of on my own somewhere. That is not good but I would not like to live near anybody. I would try to be in close proximity to the school or my work at least so I won't have to travel far both places.
