I know it won’t fix it, and this is hardly a comprehensive list. But I feel like there are some stupid-easy things Americans could do to reduce the harm. Just a few that come to mind:
Don’t buy a big vehicle like a giant pickup truck unless you really need it. (A pavement princess for your ego is not a need).
Book air travel as little as possible. Again, only if you truly need it.
If you are growing something that requires a lot of water in an area that doesn’t get very much rain…stop doing that. (If you have some kind of closed loop water system, that’s an exception. But how many actually have that.)
Telecommute if you can. If you can do your job from home and your boss won’t let you, it’s time to hunt for another job.
Your missing the big one that most people don’t want to hear, eat less / no meat. That’s about the biggest decision your average person can make that will make the most impact, going vegetarian is about equivalent to not driving but most Americans need to drive, they don’t need to eat meat.
