a few ideas, in no particular order
- stop burning fossil fuels to the altar of the crypto crazy
- stop burning enormous amounts of fossil fuel to produce AI models that poorly replicate human skills, without asking if someone wanted it
- support power efficient devices or appliances. I despise Apple, for a lot of reasons, but the M series is a big step in the right direction.
- don't buy Teslas, buy small cars that occupy a small parking space, if you live in a city. Better yet, don't buy a car, car companies will die eventually, better sooner than later, so we can make them a thing of the past like we did with horsecars. All of us would feel dumb riding or buying one of those nowadays, right?
- support companies that actually do what they say, "90% recycled material" or "90% carbon neutral" is a brand, it's green washing, it's almost never true for large corporations. It will take the aforementioned Apple at least another 20 years to become really green, as in CO2 neutral and as of their actions had no terrible consequences on real people, in the real World.
- The only ADV I was able to endure in the past 20 years was "buy better, wear for longer" by Levis. Which is actually a very good thing to do for the environment and for ourselves as humans. Fast fashion is stupid.
- smackeyacky 4y ago- don't buy a new car ever again, just fix your old one.
- peoplefromibiza 4y agogood one! there's a bit of regulatory problems in Europe[1] about that, cars need to adhere to certain emission standards to circulate in large areas of big cities, but definitely fix before buying is the old way that becomes new again. In this light the right to repair is very important. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_emission_standards https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_emission_standards
