very easy. There are some very easy way to reduce the accidnetal killings

also.

Gardening is an excellent way (also lets you have 100%

pesticide/herbicide-free food, and eliminates transportation from the

equation, can use less water, cause zero erosion)

 

For energy, increasing energy efficiency (sealing insulation leaks, having

an efficient refrigerator, insulating pipes), reducing energy use, and using

renewable energy are easy and save $ from bills. Solar cells can reduce

energy bills, and pay for themselves over time.

 

And generally buying what you need, but not always what you want, can reduce

the harms greatly.

Oh, and biking when possible instead of using the old combustion clunker

(until hydrogen fuel cell cars come out)
