People think because they recycle their trash they are being responsible. Recycled materials mostly go to China. Then they make consumer goods and sell them back to us. Think about this. If aluminum cans stay in landfills, we can mine them later if we need them. We can collect methane off land fills and use it for fuel.
Flying in airplanes uses up a lot of fuel. Drive fuel efficient cars. EVs are okay but have limited range. They may be a stepping stone to better tech like hydrogen fuel cells or ammonia driven vehicles.
If you live in a 3,000 square foot house and keep your house at 72 degrees year around you are using up a lot of energy. Burn wood, it is carbon neutral. Insulate your house., Buy a smaller house. Regulate heat with window shades. I heat my house with a combination of wood and solar except for cloudy winter days when I sometimes use a propane furnace.
Limit your consumption of appliances and electronics. Repair and re-use.
I like the example of cooking on a fire compared to using a stove. This is an old argument where stove users sometimes feel superior because they don't use up any wood. When it is legal, cooking with fire is carbon neutral. It helps use up some of the fuel on the ground. Using a stove requires the mining of metals and fossil fuels. It requires transportation to move the materials to you and then there is the added problem of what to do with old fuel cannisters. Cook on a fire and you avoid all of those issues.
Put some thought into how much lawn you have, what kind of landscaping you have, native plants. Live a deliberate life with some awareness and consciousness. Carry wood and carry water.
