How about, I'm mildly homeless (essentially I live with my parents to leverage economies of scale around energy usage; I don't air condition a dwelling that only I live in), I ride an electric bike when possible (to include to my office which is 2 miles away), and I've recently taken up beekeeping and growing a portion of my food hydroponically. I never fly in a plane. I will eat basically anything, but it leans away from beef and other problematic stuff. I doubt I'm doing enough, and I've become pretty convinced over the last seven or so years that humanity is just straight-up fucked anyway (no kids for me which I could say is a green thing, but really I can't imagine explaining the magnitude of the fuckedness they'd face (and the living with parents thing sure doesn't help either)), but anyway I'd feel even more responsible if I did that stuff. Regarding the truck thing though, the Ford Maverick looks pretty useful and I believe there is a hybrid, so maybe that would be reasonable? #notalltexans lol
