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 >
My family
My family’s carbon footprint is quite high right now but we are trying to lower it by using our wood stove as our main heating source and starting to put in solar panels. We are also looking into buying a car with better gas efficiency
hi will, same with my familys and we are also using our wood stove right now for our main heating source, i defininelty think lights are a very large impact, we have a very large house so we use quite a bit of lighting, and when we leave them on it dosent just use more electricty it also raise the electrical bill alot, so in turn we have to use so much more electricty wich obviously is not always clean electrity. so i think thats one big thing to think about
