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
If I lived in my own house and I was trying to have a lower carbon footprint i would probably make sure i shut off the lights when i leave the room and probably have some solar panels. I would also try and live closer to the school and my work place so i could walk and or bike to the place. I would hang dry my laundry and try to lower the time of my showers to save water. I would recycle and compost my food scraps and plastic, tin, and glass.
