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?

Reducing a Families footprint
It can be very hard to convince your family members to try to lower their carbon footprints I should know, my father has never really cared for the environment and that had extended to my brother and even though I try there isn’t much I can do to get them to try but we still need to try. The best way to get your family to make an effort is with persistence and enthusiasm if you're able to show your family that you are committed to the cause with enough time they will join you, have patience because it will pay off in the end.
