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?

Family Footprint
Family’s should be highly encouraged to check their overall carbon footprint and compare it to the average. People may think their carbon footprint is average or lower, but it won’t hurt to check. Just seeing the numbers can change someone’s thinking. As I was checking my footprint through the calculator, I noticed some very simple things can greatly affect my carbon footprint. In conclusion, “opening” the eyes of people can significantly affect their mindset and would turn the pollution situation to the better.
