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?

All of this sounds great, especially +1 for avoiding unnecessary travel! A lot of people start to drive more once they get an EV, as it's "more eco-friendly", in the worst case creating a rebound-effect. It takes willpower and thoughtfulness not to fall into that behaviour

An EV is never going to be more efficient than a bike or walking. My EV's mass is enormous compared to my bike or a pair of sneakers. I don't know about willpower, for me, as bikes are so fun to ride.
