One can start by buying “green energy” which is available now in a lot of areas and hopefully will be increasingly available sooner rather than later.

If you think about it, there are probably a lot of ways you can easily reduce your energy usage in ways that are no biggies. For example, wash your dishes rather than use a dishwasher, hang dry your clothes (they last longer too), replace a couple of meat entree meals a week with vegetarian meals, etc.

A modern dishwasher actually uses less energy overall than scrubbing your pots and spoons by hand. FAIL.

You can’t reliably hang-dry your clothes in a wet climate, and many areas prohibit line-drying because it looks “trashy”. There’s a big fight going on in some places about that. If you want to hang-dry your clothes in your living room, nobody’s stopping you. Just don’t come around checking on mine.

Vegetarian meals may or may not be less carbon-intensive than meat. It all depends.
