Sorry for your loss.
A dedicated environmentalist would put my poor efforts to shame. I always try to consider the long term effects of my choices. For example, I drive a 2015 Tucson (purchased new), limit my travel to little more than absolute necessity, and combine multiple trips whenever possible. My carbon "tiretrack", is less than if I replaced it with a new ev, considering the costs, both financial and environmental. I pull weeds in my yard, I don't poison them or the ground. I have no living children, so it isn't about leaving a better planet for my kids. It's ethics, I guess. Trying to do the right thing as I believe it to be. Do as little harm as possible while still enjoying the last few days. No one person can do it alone.
