I’ve been working toward this for some time, now. What I’ve found is that it takes a long time, depending on your current situation in life.
I’m now “carfree” in that I gave up owning my own car about 5 years ago. Now, I bike, walk and use public transit.
I’m a bit more involved in the purchasing process, as opposed to simply picking up a whole bunch of “stuff” and throwing it in the shopping cart. Now, I actually think about my purchases, asking questions, such as, do I really need this? Where was it made? Was it made sustainably and so on.
Finally, I’m doing my bit by spreading the word and joining organizations that work to educated and activate others.
