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?

Are small things enough?
kids and people in general without a lot of power are doing everything they can do to help with climate change by doing small things but is it really enough? what other things can people with less power do for a bigger impact?
I don’t think the small things are enough. They definitly impact the thoughts and decisions of people who can do more about climate change, but not enough people with power are doing things to help. I think the climate strike alerted people in powerful positions about how much this mattered to everyone, but there needs to be more done.
Small things from an individual person aren’t necessarily enough to fix climate change. However, imagine the impact it would make if every person changed some part of their life to improve their carbon footprint. So in a way, they are enough, because if everyone thinks that way, it can have a huge impact on this issue.
