[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmmm...
- We drive hybrid cars that we charge using solar energy.
- Obviously, we have solar panels
- We do not use bottled water. 
- We do not use fertilizer on our lawn or water it. Mainly have been seeding it with clover
- We have a butterfly garden and only plant native plant
- Rainscape gardening. We slow down water in our yard.
- Compost all kitchen waste
- Recycle plastic, cans, bottles
- Use Trash Nothing and Green Drop to get rid of stuff
- Mainly vegetarian
- Mainly eat local
- Do a lot of environmental charity
- Create habitat for wildlife in our yard
- Don't use cedar mulch so that turtles can lay eggs in our flower beds.

We do most of this, too, but (a) I don't feel like it involved altering or significantly changing our lifestyle, so if OP is looking for, like, sacrifices people have made, this doesn't count for us at least and (b) I also am under no illusions that any of it makes any difference in the grand scheme of things. Reducing my own household's carbon emissions by the marginal amount that solar panels/electric car/composting/not watering the lawn/etc. adds up to is not going to change the overall direction of climate change.[/quote]
