“Make coffee at home, meal prep; stop buying meat and dairy, eat mostly vegan/vegetarian; drive the speed limit, accelerate slowly; absolutely paranoid about leaving lights on in empty rooms, closing vents to empty rooms; blankets instead of cranking up the heat; most of my entertainment comes from the library; drive a 10 year old car; wear clothes until they fall apart, then sew them together.”
