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?

Compost
In my household, composting at this point is second nature. We have a small compost bin in the house where we throw any of our food waste as well as things like coffee grinds and avocado pits. When the bucket fills, we dump it in our compost bin that we have outside. Eventually, my dad uses the compost to help with the garden that he has, and now it's come full circle. Not everyone can just compost like this because of space or resources, but overall, it's the little things that only take a few moments out of your day that will hopefully add up and make a difference in the end.
That's actually really cool you guys compost. I have been talking to my mom about having us get into composting and supporting the environment more. It's really awesome to see how you and your family have a cycle through compost and soil. Hopefully more people start to get on board with composting and gardening.
That's really cool i've been trying to start composition so far I just have a lot of soil and cardboard I'm not sure what veggies I can compost. If you have any tips they would be greatly appreciated.
That's awesome; we're doing compost as well. It's a small action that we can all do to care for the environment with not too much work. To reiterate what Kya said, hopefully more people will do this as well.
