Er... I got an electric car does that count? Based on $ keeping the old car is cheaper. Also divestment, purchase choices, charity donations, solar install.

Buying electric cars, installing solar, and switching to heat pumps are one of the few things you can materially do to screw the powers that be. The the other one is limiting your family size.

The only thing you can do to hurt the powers that be is not buying.

I think producing and consuming like crazy could also work, considering how quickly Twitter turned Elon Musk from most important to least interesting figure on Earth. Wealth and sensory capacity don't appear to be positively correlated at all.

Depends on which powers for each specific choice.

Electric cars don't run on Saudi-Trump-Putin juice, so they're pretty good step in screwing those, for example.

No, it doesn't. Your contribution is statistically insignificant. It was purely a symbolic gesture.

[pjc50]

Everyone's contribution is insignificant, and yet it all adds up.

This is rather like saying the average player in a football match scores 0 goals, therefore 0 goals were scored.

Even so, an electric car is not particularly good for the environment.

Bicycles and public transportation.

Bicycles and public transportation are better yes. If I were healthy enough I would consider a cargo bike and bring 20kg of shopping home on that (for real). It would be cool. Then buses for unladen journeys.
