walk or bike instead of using a car or bus
don't use air conditioning under any circumstance....
don't heat your home...except by solar
don't heat your water...except by solar
don't have a wood burning or gas burning fireplace of any sort

don't cook anything...a raw diet is good for you
but you'll have to grow or barter your own...since otherwise there will be environmental costs from transporting it to you

don't work for any company that uses any energy...no heat, no air conditioning, no electricity...

cut yourself loose from all electronics
don't buy anything that is manufactured...but if you must, buy only locally manufactured items so the only energy cost is the manufacturing and none is wasted in transportation.

you don't have to do all of them...but the more of them you do..the better for the world
