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 >
reducing my family footprint
In my family's footprint, I noticed that we use a lot of electricity, water, and use a lot of transportation. One way my family can reduce the carbon footprint is to make sure we always turn off lights. This can make a huge difference in the carbon footprint. We can also reduce the shower time we take, taking quicker showers will save water! And a final way we can reduce our carbon footprint is to use carpool! where I live, transportation and using cars is a necessity, it is how everyone gets around, but using carpool will save one less person from putting CO2 in the air.
