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 >
Food
Me and my family get alot of our carbon footprint from the food we eat. If we switch to more sustainable food sources we can lower our over all C.F. and help the planet.
To reduce my footprint when it comesd to food, I chose to not eat meet and dairy. A big part of climate change is the overbreeding of cows so eating less meet helps reduce your carbon footprint.
Also, many people buy too much food that they cannot est in one sitting and so it is eventually thrown out. We have to try harder to buy meals that are not too much so it doesn't all go to waste
I agree, I am guilty of eating meet and dairy but I have reduced the amount I consume it. Little by little eating less. I know it isn’t that much of a difference, but I am doing other things to reduce my carbon footprint as well.
