A lot of what you mention is related to energy useage: smaller cars/houses, keeping houses cold in winter, less consumption overall. Perhaps the Europeans are on the right track here and we in the US are on the wrong track when taking climate change into consideration?

As youve identified, energy cuts across everything. It is a very broad indicator of wealth. Energy austerity is still austerity even if you think its better for the environment.
