1. You can check the suppliers here: https://utopia.de/ratgeber/oekostrom-tarife-vergleich/ Verivox in Germany for example also has the option "öko plus" to check.

2. I think, I have been very unsuccesful at debating. Many people do not want to change or rather trade freedom now against climate fuckup in the future. It is very frustrating. In my opinion, most people still do not have realized that we have to act now and not in 5 years. In Germany, we already have 2°C, climate change is reality. :(

3. Not really.

Important question! My main concern is to combat climate change with all my energy. Whilst it is still hard to leave all routines behind, I try to challenge myself on every action I take.

- I changed my employer in December to work on renewable energy topics. It gained me 5000€/a, so win/win.

- I switched my power supplier to eco 5 years ago. Probably 50€ per year. It is important to choose a real eco-friendly tariff. Some are only labeled as environmentally friendly.

- I am donating to greenpeace and other environmental ngos (as well as planting trees). ~400€ per year.

- I stopped using a car a few years ago. I am substituting it by public transport and/or my bike. Occasionally, I still rent a car, however much less. I would say, it costs a lot of time sometimes but it is hard to figure out the number. All things considered, I am certainly saving money.

- I am only buying organic food and especially meat with no compromise. It probably costs me 50-100€ per month compared to shopping in a discounter market. Since the meat is quite expensive, I reduced consumption drastically (but not only for economic reasons).

- I am not taking airplanes anymore to go on holiday. This costs a lot of time. My last travel to Greece took 3 days instead of 3 hours.

- I have reduced shopping and online shopping to a minimum. It just saves money and time as well.

- I have put stickers for the past global climate strike, it cost me a few hours. Participating some hours as well.

- I am always bringing my tupperware for picking-up food (except pizza), no compromise, no one-way packaging. This is not really combatting climate change but it helps against environmental pollution.

- Countless hours of debating with people :-D

Also, many little things which I forgot to/can't mention. I think everybody should do as much as he or she can, get used to it, do more, get used to it, do more, etc. :)
