Some ways to make the situation better:
- Find a job closer to where you live or move closer to where you work.
- Get a smaller car.
- Get solar installed in your home.
- Decrease usage of disposable products. Use a shopping bag, a water bottle, your own mug, your own utensils, etc.
- Stop buying objects you don't strictly need. Prefer products that do not suffer from planned obsolescence. Prefer reusable/recyclable packaging.
- Decrease or stop consumption of meat.
- Wear more clothes instead of turning up the heater and get better thermal isolation (e.g: thicker windows).
Now, electric cars do not contaminate your immediate surroundings, but the process of manufacturing them can have a higher carbon footprint than the lifetime emissions of the vehicle.
