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?

I’m going to try to bike to school three days a week
I’m going to try to bike to school three days a week and bus the other two days
I always try to walk to school except if it’s raining really hard.
I sadly live 20 Miles away from school.
I think the idea of biking more and driving less is an excellent plan but it is not always something that is accessible for all. Bikes can be expensive and I know, at least in my experience, many of the places to which I am traveling are over fifteen miles away, which can be an extremely long distance to travel by bike. I often choose an often easier option, public transportation. According to officials at the Federal Transit Association, "Public transportation also benefits those not using it because it helps reduce energy consumption, greenhouse gases, and other pollutants." In many cities, public transportation is also an affordable and convenient option. I urge everyone who cannot bike or walk to their destinations to instead consider using public transit.

I think that we should always try to walk or bike somewhere we have to go if we are able to and in a good condition. It's both good for out health and our environment instead of driving everywhere we go.
Yes riding a bike is way healthier for the earth and everything but i hope in the future or even now they find some kind of fuel for the car that doesn´t affect our planet in a bad way.
we should use bikes more because they are not bad for the nature and they are better for our health. you are helping the environment and getting a good workout at the same time.
i think we need to walk more and bike more. we need to think more what we are doing to our planet.
