>start having only 1 or 0 children for a while.

Almost all developed nations already have birth rates below the replacement level. The only way our populations are not falling is through migration from less developed countries.

How can I, as a citizen, decide to use eg solar power? If my power provider burns coal, how can I affect that?

That depends on your country. Here you can choose your provider, for example, or put your own grid-connected solar panels up.

The correct answer was a carbon tax.
