> very few change their life in significant ways to help it.

I did it, and it is really worth the effort.

What I changed:

- buy liquids in glass only -> healthier and reduced container garbage to 2/5

- use soda stream for mineral water

- buy fresh food -> healthier and reduces plastics packing

- buy used devices (where it makes sense) -> cars, phones, pc's etc. -> much cheaper, reduces waste -> don't be beta tester for newest products

- use rechargable batteries with smart recharger (to benefit the life cycle)

- avoid unfixable devices in general

- use grandma's household remedy, e.g. baking powder and vinegar instead of chemicals (packed in big one-way plastic bottles) to clean your house drains
