4) Stop being a consumer.
No kidding. Just stop. Buy only what you must have. If possible, buy it at the thrift store. Peak oil guarantees that the ship of consumerism is going down. Be the first on your block to get in the life boat by altering your lifestyle, and you'll do it on your own terms. Everyone else will follow eventually, but as an angry, frightened mob.
Everything I don't buy didn't consume oil to mine, process, package, transport, and warehouse. It didn't pour tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. It didn't outgas toxins into my home, or clog a landfill once I'm done with it. Everything I refuse to buy is an upraised middle finger to the asshole industrialists and financiers who think of me and my family as stupid cows to be milked.
Seriously, stop spending. While you're at it, stop paying your credit card bill.
My girlfriend has no concept of conservation!! Foe her, shop, spend and waste is her mantra!!
Thank goodness I'll be credit card "debt free" by years' end!!
