That's the problem. One person can't make a difference.
I bike to work and walk to the grocery store. I've reduced my meat and processed food intake(stop shipping preserved foods to me from across the country please). I recycle. I attempt to avoid plastic packaging. All my light fixtures use LED bulbs and I'm pretty good at turning off the lights when I leave a room. I keep the thermostat at 60 in winter and use heating blankets to keep me warm if I'm resting. I have an A/C window unit that is set to 80 in the summer, if I close the office door I only need to cool down 80sqft of me and my computer. I hope to switch to a electric or push mower, but I'm keeping my gas powered lawn mower that came with the house to avoid excess waste, I go weeks between mowing and I never water the lawn explicitly, only my trees; a pine that blocks most of the midday sun until the middle of summer, and a box elder maple the blocks the worst of the summer evening light. I turn off my computers at night, even the computer at the work office I remote into. I sew the holes in my clothes. I repair my dog's toys, OK the dogs are a huge negative on my footprint, but they're rescues at least.
