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
I think that my family does a good job at spending less time driving in cars. For example my mom will go to work in the morning and most of time have a grocery list. So after work she can get grocery in town when she is there, so that we don't have to make a second trip. We cant walk to school or work because we life in the country, if we were to live in town we probably could walk/bike places more. I also think that we could try and turn things of when we ain't using it. We could also have the lights off when we have daylight and only have them on if we need to.
