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’s Carbon Footprint
To help with my family’s carbon footprint I would like to install LED lights, low flow shower heads, solar panels to power my house, instead of AC I would try to use ceiling fans, and more. My house isn’t close enough to the school to walk or bike, so I need to cut down on other things relapsing carbon in order to make bálense for my car, or I could always just get an electric vehicle. I would also like to try eating using a plant based diet. That definitely won’t be easy considering how much meat I eat, and I don't think I would get used to it right away, but eventually I think I would be able to get the hang of it. It is something I would like to try.
