What can you do while we push to get the super rich to pay their fair share:

• flying and driving less --> riding your bike more, walking, car sharing and car pooling, public transport, local holidays
• making your home electric and more energy efficient i.e. solar, renewable energy, insulating walls, floors and roofs
• eating local and seasonal (Sustainable Table has a great guide on what is in season), only buying what you need, growing your own food, becoming a 'flexitarian' by eating mostly a plant-based diet 
• mending your clothes, thrift, join clothes swaps, rent your clothes, favour organic and high quality clothing without plastic fibres when you have to buy new clothes or shop upcycled clothing through i.e. Upparel
• avoiding single-use and buying good quality products that last a long time
• reusing and upcycling are better than recyling
