[quote=Anonymous]Here is what my household does -
- All kitchen waste is composted
- All grease and fryer oil is recycled at the county recycling center
- Minimize packaged food and no plastic bottles of water, soda or juice.  Also, empty all beverages from plastic bottles before discarding.
- Minimize use of toilet paper by installing hand held sanitary showers
- Install solar panels (and first install good quality roof)
- Plant native trees that can provide food and shelter to wild birds and animals. Plant 5 trees for every person in your household.  Do vertical gardening and sow creepers to provide shade in small areas of your garden. 
- Do not fertilize or water your lawn.  If you cannot replace the turf completely then start over seeding with clover.  Let your lawn become full of weeds so that it can feed pollinators. Sow a pollinator friendly garden
- Don't keep pets.  Instead make your yard into a habitat for wild creatures. 
- Have one or two areas in your yard where the grading is low and water accumulates there - you can dig out the soil to make a rain garden bed and plant thirsty plants there. Prevent runoffs and rise the water table of the area. 
- Plog.  Pick up trash when you go walking. 
- Have no more than 1 or 2 kids. 
- Become vegetarian for most parts.
- Use EV. Cycle to short distances.
