Zero waste systems
Material luxury has negative effects.
Success does not mean get more and more
Realise things we buy typically go through a long cycle from resource, assembly, distribution, purchase, landfill
Try to live and travel sustainably
Understand carbon offsets, doing good to offset the harm you are doing
Recycling
Easy product reuse
Easy disassembly
Should be able to send products like electronics back to manufacturers or factories for internal part reuse
Allow product to last longer through things like Luke’s Maker’s Bill of Rights↗
Zero impact cities
Car-free communities
Join sustainability circles
If renting try to find a ecofriendly building

When possible try to sustain yourself by using things (materials, energy, things built, things exported, and available) from your own ecosystem rather than from one much farther away. (not always better though)
Avoid toxic household cleaning solutions`
Product history
Know where products come from, what is in them, and how they were made
will help us make better choices buying good products

blockchain my help with this
preserve local food varieties and techniques, sometimes no processing, transporting, preserving effectiveness and energy required in producing food
Food history
pesticides
chemical fertilizer, sewer-sludge fertilizers
no use of irradication
weather GM substances were used
any antibiotics or hormones used
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) food
buying too much soy could also have a toil to environment like meat and fish

Is it easily renewable
Smart appliance ability connected to power grids same way electric cars can be connected to grid
Does it have a high portion of recycled material?
Trees

Should be taken responsibility by personal average folk, private organizations, and governmental groups
It may be a good deed to have keep trees warm once in a while when there iss no sun give them clothes
maybe for plants and lowers as well | but hey maybe they are exrelishing the rain in cold.

Know your local ecology and enhance it
Product Deconstruction
Allow resuse
Longer product cycles
Easier recycling
Clean energy
Again, should be taken responsibility by personal average folk, private organizations, and governmental groups
Solar
- Usually might require bad toxic metals in making them such cadium and telluride
Wind power
- London Array
- Kentish flats
Water
- Hydro kinetic power (from ocean waves)
Alt energy
Gasification
- Producing energy from Gasification of charcoal from burning biomass eg wood or agricultural waste
Saving water
You can save water buy purchasing things that require less water to produce donate tools that save water to people that use lots of water Switch to a shower head that sprays less water If your sink has a pipe that can be removed collect that grey water
Climate tax and climate credit
Fossil fuels market should pay for amount done to damage eg. through taxes. Make better choices such as alternative travel rather than airplanes.
Carbon neutrality
Farming and growing good
Avoid excess use of petroleum during farming
Don’t grow monoculture harvests
Nature sometimes needs constant maintenance.
Biodiversity and variety is great it makes garden mre productive and more sustainable
against pests and disease
avoid invasive species
avoid excessive maintenance
plant native species
Biking
Earth
Community gardens
Mangrove Swamps
harvesting rainwater
Improve the environment wherever you go.
Some ways rebuild ing nature might be better that maintaining it
Cleaning and restoration
You can uxe bioremediation, planting plants or other organisms to get rid of toxins in a polluted area
Build artificial reefs where land will be flooded in the future.
Restore mangroves in costal areas.
Nets in garbage filed rivers to catch plastic
Have more protected park regions in the country, maybe within city suburbs too.
bringback mini replica ecosystems and environments of what existed beforee
Measure impacts to environment with humility and generosity to amount impacted negatively

More [Drop shopsz|vancouvr] recycle and repair products..
Bridge and highways with pollution inhaling vacuums pollution then filtered pollution or transforms it liquid or waste or energy
More pedestrian friendly cities Les sprawl supburbs
Green choices should be very generously rebated
Reuse centers
Activism
If you get a chance to influence a company let them know of financially advantageous green opportunities.
