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 Family Footprint >
my home
if i were to have my own home, i would likely use solar panels. i would also try to work with a neighbor or friend to create an at-home garden to reduce trips by car to the grocery store. i could run around the neighborhood or construct an at-home gym to avoid more unnecessary trips. ideally i would live near my work or school but if i were unable to do that i would want to be near public transit options. i would also make sure to recycle, compost, and keep reusable bags on hand in order to reduce my footprint and create a sustainable home.
