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
Once I have a family and my own house I would probably like to live somewhere in between work and school, so that it's way easier to get to work and school. If I had my own house I would definitely be aware of the amount of electricity that my family is using. I have a really bad habit of leaving my lights on when I am not home and that can just be a waste of energy and money. I would also make sure to watch the food my family and I eat, the amount of trips we take and the electricity and energy that we use on the daily.
