Please check your country´s possibilities by searching the web yourself.
Then, please, do something, get active, change something, help, work, donate, spread information, etc.!
And some simple ideas I read:
+ Each degree less heating means ca. 5% energy saving - for our nature and your pocket.
+ Buying 1 t-shirt less means saving 3,000 l of polluted production water. One could also buy less trousers, shoes, pcs, phones, cars...
+ Using things longer than putting them to the waste disposal helps. Many furnitures are very good for that. Also dishes, clothes, ...
+ You might buy used things instead of new ones. Which ones? Think yourself and see above.
+ Walking more and driving less with cars or flying is an excellent contribution to save the planet.
+ Buying recycled things, instead of ones harvested directly out of nature/wilderness, helps protect nature.
+ Eating less meat is very good for health and against climate change. Less forests are logged for animal space or animal food.
+ Each kg of meat needs 5 - 15 kg of veggie food. So, there is theoretically plenty of food for 7 billion people with less meat.
+ Buy local - and save your yoghurt ingredients to ride some thousand kilometers. Also other food is easy and healthy to buy local.
+ Consume “Bio” products - and save nature and yourself (you eat it!) from being poisoned by anti-funghizides, pestizides, etc.
+ Consume “Eco” products - and save nature from being cruelly and unsastainably exploited (forest logging, mining, fishing, ...)
+ Check social values of the wares´ producers: Do they “employ” children for work? Do they pay unfair wages? Working conditions?
+ Avoid waste - which has to be produced first (bags, plastics, etc.), kept in stocks (halls instead of farmland or nature) transported
(fuel, more trucks produced, etc.) and disposed (transport, last stock in nature and/or pollution / climate heating by burning, etc.)
+ Avoid purchase failures, only buy what you really need (to be happy) and what really fits your desires. So, avoid unreasonable
productions of things which go straight or after a while to waste, since nobody wants or needs them.
+ Donate or give away for free instead of putting stuff to the waste. Check for free ad sites and place an ad or search second-hand
organizations and talk to them. Often they are happy about your things and they even take them right of your home and you save
effort with big items to transport them to a waste disposal site or to pay for the service.
+ Have a real garden again - with trees and bushes which help make a better micro-climate. Some strawberries and vegetables to have
out of your own “production” are fun, too. And some herbs, like mint, to make your own - and healthier and cheaper - tea are great!
Again, please, check and research yourself and then get active the proper way.
You are as responsible as everybody else for what he/she does!
And you are even responsible for what you do not do!
Inactivity or laziness might even be a crime!
