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?

Composting
My family does compost but we don't do the best at sorting out what goes in the compost bin and doesn't (I know what you are thinking "smh"). Looking at this source it actually makes a very big difference if you compost or not. I thought that wherever it went it would decompose and that was the end of the story when in reality it isn't. It can actually be very helpful if you compost correctly. It allows for nutrients to go back into the soil and be reused. It can also help plants grow with a wide range of effects. It can also make the soil better for planting as it will be able to contract more nutrients.
