I don't eat meat except on the days I cook (2X/wk) and maaaybe one day a weekend on cheat days. Meat is a very inefficient protein anyway, so I get by happily with eggs, cheese, or fish. I love vegetables roasted, steamed, & sauteed. They're cheaper, better, & cause less waste.

As much as possible I just try to limit myself from giving my money to companies that don't think twice about the environment and waste. We buy Dawn soap, Simple Green, limit ourselves with eating out at chains, and I support local businesses as much as I can.

When we moved into the house we're in now, my sist invested in buying energy efficient appliances so the whole downstairs is energy efficient. We also bought blackout curtains to save power on air conditioning, but use daylight rather than lightbulbs when possible.

I know there are things that I'm missing, but if you have any other tips for me that you found helpful in your life I'm happy for some advice! I didn't include thrifting because it's not something I've done, I feel like I might buy more knowing it's cheaper, which doesnt help lol

I guess the point of this thread was to show that all the little things you do in your life can really help contribute to the overall picture of using less and wasting less, something that some people just don't ponder at all, but which would help if more people joined in.

For the future I'd like to wean myself off of palm oil, which is nigh impossible, I know. I'd also like to have my own chickens and farm so I can grow my own produce and eggs, build an off-grid smaller house for my future family, and create businesses that produce less waste.

This thread was brought to you by a future marine biologist who wants to go into coral reef studies. Yeah, the reefs I want to study will disappear not just in my lifetime, but in my career. This is a casual thread, but this problem we inherited is also very real to me. Pls care.
