Get a chest freezer. It's much more efficient for long-term storage than an upright fridge with a freezer because the cold air doesn't spill out when you open it.

Toss your incandescent and fluorescent lights. Get LED bulbs (not smart lights, just white LEDs). Where applicable, install timer switches.

Fuck cars, get a bike. A simple, sturdy one, like an onafiets. They run on toast and determination.

Understand the difference between having enough money to buy something and being able to afford something.

Unsubscribe from music/video streaming services. Return to the seven seas.

Maybe engage in some light tax evasion.

I don't have an omafiets, but a single gear bike. The only gear it does have is quite tough to start, but my God is it so much better than something with 8 gears or whatever. So much less effort once you get going. I never realised this, but apparently you lose a lot of power through the gearing.

Nope. Do hills too.

It is a bit tougher up hill, like cycling in a higher gear, but because you lose less power due to gearing, it's not as bad as you'd expect.

I'm not an avid cyclist, and I found the inability to make inclines easier a no-go. I'm into electric assist though, but that increases bike price. I see quite a few used ones for sale tho.
