I don't drive, but since my family lives rurally, and thus bikes and walking would be too far, they use an electric vehicle. Which, since they own an electric car, electric companies lower your power bill as part of a government scheme, which is pretty nice. Almost 1/3rd of our farm (which is really just a large lifestyle block, we don't do intensive farming) is regenerating native forest, so we are actually have a negative carbon footprint, and my dad is looking into maybe selling some of the carbon credits to get a bit of extra cash to plant some more native trees.
I have almost finished my degree in ecology, (just 4 more papers!) so I can get a job to help the environment, and since my mum and my husband has been diagnosed with type 2, we don't eat chocolate anymore, and I have never liked coffee.
Some of us are doing our part :V

Due to my studies,I've come to the opinion that it's really the large companies that profit off destroying the environment that should be making the greatest change. Many people simply don't have the income to change to better habits for the planet, and work to the bone for those that make a huge amount of money from trashing the environment.
There was literally a tannery in NZ that was dumping all the waste into the local river, and when they were told to stop, the tannery pretty much said that if they would stop, hundreds of people would lose their jobs, so they got away with it.
