In order of importance.

I replaced a gas drier with a ventless heat pump one. Replaced a gas water heater with a hybrid heat pump one.

Bought a Prius to replace a E150 cargo van as a daily driver.

I'm relatively poor for a tech bro. And hate flying. That cuts down on high carbon footprint leisure activities.

And didn't have kids.

I forgot one other thing. I moved from a place 20 miles from work to one 7 miles from work. I'll buy an electric car once the one I own is kaput. The only other things I can do is replace my gas furnace with a heat pump.

I feel like there is only so much I can do personally. A lot of what needed at system wide changes that allow people to live with a lower footprint without screwing themselves.
