Tell us what great changes you have made to your life that truly makes a difference. Solar panels on your home, EV's charged by energy source such as solar, wind, tide or wind. Biking and walking instead of energy consuming transportation. Avoiding air transport, growing your own food without fertilizers, eating no meat.
Or are you just like the rest of us? Plug into the grid, heat and cool your house, power to keep your pool usable, air transport to your cruise port. Wash and dry your clothes in machines powered by gas or electric. And heaven forbid, us a powered golf cart and have your lawn mowed by gas powered equipment.

OK, I can respond to that challenge, That is a reasonable question. I eat VERY little red meat. I have an electric lawnmower and bicycle. I avoid air travel and large cruise ships would bore me and waste my money. I drive a small gas car. My next car, if I live long enough, will be an E-car. I plant many hedges and trees in my yard because they produce more oxygen than plain grass and require zero fertilizer. Before the pandemic, we had a summer home in Tn. with 2 acres on which we grew apples, peaches, and vegetables, including corn, and also blackberries. I buy recycled clothes from goodwill and garage sales. I drink soy milk. I would NEVER, NEVER waste money on a private pool when the neighborhood pool is close and has some interesting characters there. I do NOT play GOLF because it is very little exercise and a lot of wasted time - also the plain grass there releases MUCH, MUCH less oxygen than the trees they cut down for a golf course. Also, a golf course has a lot of fertilizer runoff which destabilizes the surrounding lakes and , of course, wastes water. And all the non-electric golf carts are without smog control devices as good as modern automobiles so the pollution factor is high.
.........Thanks for the question and challenge. I hope others take that challenge also.
