I feel like I always think of solar punk as a macro thing where a lot has to change but there are still smaller wins we can implement, what have you been doing?

If you’ve got a young’n:
Our daughter is 10 months so we’re just starting looking for bikes. I was thinking about getting a long tail because that’s what people around us seem to be using.
I know cloth diapers are better for the environment I just can’t.
Cloth diapers can definitely be hard if you dont have on-site laundry. We were lucky enough to live somewhere with a diaper service when we didn’t have laundry.
We have on site laundry but I already do so much laundry.
It takes something like 500 years for a store bought disposable diaper to decompose in a landfill, and we use billions of them every year.
If one can use cloth, I say one should.
We did use some disposables throughout (mostly for logistical reasons) but we still saved 5,000+ diapers fron landfill.
