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 Home
In my house, we only use LED lights but they our on regularly which emits a lot of Co2. In my home, we live in a 3000 square feet home. Most people aren't usually home to shut off the lights, hence we have automatic lights that turn on at a specific time. discussions have been made with my parents and we will be changing that. Though, we also participate in the waste category. Recently, my family and i have found a local recycling centre that recycles plastic, takes in cans bottles etc.. and so we have also been sorting out our waste hoping to reduce our numbers.
