I vote everytime for political parties who focus on the climate, and fight against privatization of government, and works for more and cheaper public transport. A good cause to be political for even if I don't have a head for politics. Hows that for a green life hack?
I don't envy those of you with two or less-party political systems. Or corporate-backed politicians. Or no trust in their govt to get anything done. You really need to get that fixed to get anywhere in this fight for survival of earth.
If I may give tips to take your efforts to the next level. Find your local coffee roaster whom hopefully sourced their coffee beans in a sustainable fashion. Use oats milk instead of cow milk for your cappuccinos, bring your own bags instead of taking any bags for doing groceries, exchange all your 4 cars for 1 electric car, and now charge your ev with the solar production you have for a free charge up.
In my defence, I today did NOT buy a sticker saving that we need to save the planet. Because it's stupid spending resources on something only to show of how you care for the planets resources. So I do my part :-/
