I compost, I have a worm box in my pantry. I use less plastic, haven't been able to get rid of it all yet. I reduce, reuse, and recycle. I garden and grow some of my own food. I try to drive less. I use personal wipes instead of toilet paper. I make my own cleaners. I cook from scratch, never buy processed and fake food. I made my own grocery bags about 10 years ago, still using them. I make my own soap and shampoo.

I live as far removed from the money system as I reasonably can. I grow more of my own vegetables each year. I keep chickens. My house remains furnished and decorated with hand-me-downs and cast-offs. I take responsibility for the things I purchase so that I generate a minimum landfill input. I manage a ten-acre woodlot. I obsessively study human nature.

i don't eat meat.

I don’t do 4 or 5. But I use biodegradable and environment friendly products.

I don’t buy anything new made in China or India.

I compost. Make most things from scrap. Grow and raise most of my own food.

I recycle.

I use canvas bags for everything. I never get plastic bags. Actually in Eugene, you have to pay for plastic shopping bags.

I try to purchase things without excessive packaging.

I buy used a lot—all my books, most of my crafting and sewing stuff (I cut up used clothes for material often).

And many other things.

I didn't have my own children

I have a rule in my house never put food in the garbage .If my daughter refuses to eat something because of those expired dates that cause more waste in this country than some countries actually, consume I will eat it . Any thing else we will feed to the seagulls or wild animals .And the last case scenario is it is used in the garden for fertilizer.Also I never throw clothing out . Anything made of cotton is perfect for rags in my garage . Any thing else is donated to the good will society .Also I buy biodegradable cleaning products if applicable.

I use drip irrigation on timers in my garden. And I make my own 'ollas' which are clay pots buried in the ground next to my plants. I'm a potter so I make my own. Re-purpose a lot of junk from the trash such as lumber and sheet metal roofing from construction jobs. I have no idea if this stuff helps???

I also stopped buying books. I now use my library extensively. I also shop estate sales and repurpose things. I make lotions, potions, and lip balms, all organic.

I planted a tree once when I was about 10 years old. I guess that qualifies as helping.

We do everything you do and a few more:

1. We grow a high percentage of our own vegetables.
2. We use NO gasoline-powered tools of any kind -- not even lawnmowers.
3. ALL of our utilities at home are electric -- including tank-less water heater --
   and our average total utility bill -- including a/c and heating -- is less than $100/mo.

I commute to work by Bicycle, and I am an avocational advocate for alternative transportation and energy. Based on the way my housing complex was designed, in 1947, my carbon footprint is nil.

I only fly once a year. Have to to visit my aging parents. Vacation at home. Have solar electric that sells to the grid, passive solar house and solar heated floor., NO children deliberately to cut consumption,for starts

I plant a tree every year on my late father's birthday. It's a small, but meaningful gesture for me.

Recycling bin as big as rubbish bin. Smart AC, Smart irrigation system, Smart lighting.

I recycle my bottles.

I don't eat meat or dairy. I use re-usable bags. I don't shop "fast fashion." I don't eat fast food. I hand wash my car using less than two buckets of water. I try to only shop from the produce section of the market or the farmer's market. I try to walk (in LA) as much as I can.

I'm vegan and I recycle. By being vegan I reduce the methane and carbon in the atmosphere because I don't eat anything that is produced by animal agriculture, because animal agriculture is the largest producer of methane world wide as well as a giant producer of carbon. By not participating in animal agriculture and not buying any animal products, there will be slightly less demand and thus slightly less supply needed-- thus the methane and carbon is reduced. Being vegan also reduces the amount of water needed to produce a lot of vegan crops. Just got to know what produce to buy and what produce to stay away from in order to conserve water. For example, Almonds need a lot of water to grow, where as soy doesn't. So I try to buy soy products instead of almond products. If you want to know more about how animal agriculture harms the environment, I suggest watching a documentary on Netlfix called "Cow-spiracy."

Recycle
Energy saving appliances
Compost
Carpool

I do most of these things too. As a teacher I tried to get paper recycling going(a mountain of paper thrown out constantly and it breaks my heart). No one cares. I take home my own paper that is generated by admin, students or me to recycle. I am trying not to buy new clothes-a few items a year because rotting material causes co2 buildup and no fleece since it works its way into the oceans and waterways. I am vegan which saves a certain number of animals, their feed and water requirements(HUGE) and waste pollution. Bring stainless coffee/tea tumblers always in the car. Flush the toilet after 4 or 5 pees instead of every time(only at home obviously). Try to use up all my produce since I am a stakeholder in a local csa-Community supported agriculture?? my little family farmers.
Thanks for posting this. Hope it inspires.

I am almost obsessive when it comes to REAL, environmental issues.

1. Teach Ecology, conservation and land management
2. Grow all my own fruit and vegetables, as well as eggs
3. Run our local community vegetable gardens
4. Export 40kwh per day to the grid in addition to providing all of our own energy needs
5. Deliver the annual litter round up in the area
6. Give talks and run one on one sustainable training free for the local community
7. Have reduced our mains water consumption to 35 litres per person per day and still working on this one.
8. The community group I volunteer for makes reusable shopping bags from discarded fabric, repairs discarded computers and computers as operates a thrift shop.
9. I assist our local community pantry, both in physical work but also donating excess garden produce
   Sadly, I have some restrictions as I have bills to pay, I do manage to live on $100 per week and pay all my bills from that so I consider I do not consume much, I drive as little as possible and although we have a number of cars here, we almost always car pool with others. I drive about 3500 miles per year using about 600 litres of fuel. I really need an electric vehicle, but the cost ....... Always looking for more ways, just with more people would take up the challenge. Well done Bee

I work for an e-waste recycle, we take used IT equipment and test it for functionality, if it works, we resell it, if it doesn't work, we shred it and sell the commodities for use in new products

Wow! I am so impressed with our group. You all do so much! Most of my neighbors don't do diddley squat! Love you guys! <3

Share my appreciation of it with others ~

I forgot to mention composting toilets, shaping my pasture to slow down water flow and increase absorption

I do the same except making my own cleaning fluids. I alway pick up garbage when I see it. I hate litter. I never idle my car, and try to be fuel efficient. I reuse things like empty cans and bottles, or anything else that I can find alternate uses for, instead of throwing it away. I wish I lived in a place where I could walk/bike more, but it's too spread out where I live.
