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?

Saving water
If me and my family take shorter showers and turn off the water, we can save water and resources
I agree with this and i can also do this. by doing this we can limit the amount of water being wasted.
I can also do this. Taking long showers is unnecessary and only wastes water. Setting a timer may be a good option to achieve this goal.
Yes, I definitely agree with this. Especially where we live we take basic things such as food, water, and shelter for granted and by being aware that we can actually save water, we are not only helping the environment, but are being more conscientious about are water usage. Additionally, I heard that we actually don't need perfectly clean water for things like taking showers, washing dishes, and taking a shower, only for drinking. These kind of water is called grey water and I think it would be a very good idea to instead change form using clean water for things that we don't necessarily need clean water for, and instead replace it with grey water.
The point of a shower is to be clean. Unclean water = unclean bodies ?
We need clean water for heaps of things such as drinking, showering, bathing, cooking and more
