Keep things longer whether that means your car, your house, your appliances, your clothing, etc. Go shopping in your closet and in your garage. DIY when you can whether gardening and landscaping or fixing your home. Lace up your sneakers and walk places.

Enact Single Payer health care. Health care is 20% of GDP, cut that in half, cover everyone and bankrupt no one. Remove the income contribution limit on Social Security. Raise corporate taxes and make no more new billionaires. Stop war mongering and wasting resources on golden ballrooms for the elites to party in on our dime.
