Every great thing that has ever happened has always started with the small simple things first. Master them and grow.

Minimize your waste. Single-use plastics and packaging waste are a huge problem. Buy bulk unpackaged foods when possible.

What's necessary is voting in leaders who actually change policy towards non-emission of pollutants and managing resources better.

Recycle, plant bee-friendly flowers, stop smoking, shop with re-usable bags, don't idle your car more than 3 minutes, combine errand trips.

Take public transport where you can, buy as locally as you can as for as much as you can, eat seasonally, eat less red meat. The basics.

Also try not to buy as many synthetic fibers and plastic items. It is really hard to do this.

If you can choose your energy supplier, choose renewables. If enough consumers do it'll exert a huge market pressure. *Not a scientist.

Most of the things that help are obvious by now because they've been telling us about them for atleast a decade. What The hell do you want?

Something like what a community could do. Or suggestions on what best to do to help further other people's attempts.
