Honest answer, I cut my meat consumption to a few splurge meals a year. I have been working from home so I drive very little (granted I didn't opt for WFH just for carbon emission reduction). I compost, and recycle EVERYTHING I can. that means cleaning out every recyclable container and make sure to note what my county recycles vs. throws away. I buy the vast majority of my stuff second hand, I'm always looking for something that's slightly broken so I can fix it for a steal. I don't plan on having children so that's a plus, and I also vote for progressives that are fighting for tougher climate control standards.
All-in-all it's not a whole lot, but I'm just one of millions of struggling americans just trying to get their basic needs met while navigating this complex, shitty oligarchy I inherited from my parents.
