I am feeling that a lot of acts which harm our ecosystem, cause global warming and cause damage to other beings too. What things can I do to minimize the harm from my side? I try not to throw rubbish on street but that is only thing I know. I don’t have recycling bins where I live.

    unless oil/gas , meat industry/agriculture does it, your impact may not matter that much. they contribute the most current global warming, and it shows no sign of slowing down. take for example the palm oil industry in indonesia destroying the borneo jungles.

    getting people to completely adopt EV will make an impact though.

      well where I live, it is quite common to throw trash, to spit on street. You will even see some people publicly peeing on the walls.

        Its pretty fun! Just gotta figure out what places the council doesnt mow down with their silly little tractors and such. Luckily over here they have left parts of parks and other areas free from mowing and planted the same wild flowers as I have been doing. Bloody council, stealing my hobby activities.

    Buy local and avoid using Amazon and Amazon owned businesses. Cancel Prime if you can.

        You are wise. I’m sure Amazon kept all my information to continue selling it. And for later when AI takes over and they build their human registry.

    reduce your consumption, reuse items, and recycle waste. prioritize in that order.

    don’t eat farmed meat. it’s very resource intensive to farm.

    minimize travel by plane and by car. they’re not very fuel efficient.

    vote for politicians that share your ideals.

      I love all of these and would add only that even doing small changes can have large impacts if we all did them. If everyone are just one less meal a week of red meat farming as a whole would be so much less horrible. Replacing one weekly car trip with a bike, walk, or transit. If even half of our population started with small things like those we could make a real dent.

      That being said doing more is always better!
