If we're talking individual contributions, here's a few easy ones: buy new equipment less often, paint roofs and walls white/silver/reflective, use gravity fed heating systems (more up to house builders), if you have a garden grow edible plants, maybe have a chicken coop, use a bicycle for short trips. And yet, one trip on a yacht equals dozens of families doing the above. So people say, why should I suffer if those people don't? |

Depends on your moral compass I guess. If you think "suffering" is eating less meat and reducing your car/plane travels I have bad news for you though.
The more people engaged in these behaviors the better. Do you want to wait until the elite tell you to stop destroying the world (pro tip it's not going to happen as long as it's profitable) or do you want to tell the elite what to do ? The latter is only going to happen if a non negligible portion of the population decide to take action. And yes, it's going to be painful, we'll have to stop some of our habits, adapt others, &c. It'll just be paying the cost of living unsustainably for the last few decades.
