I have an ev as well as numerous ice vehicles. I use my ev primarily. I have situated myself in a way that between solar and powerwalls and ev I am completely self energy sufficient. If shit hits fan I can drive myself within a certain radius (350 miles roundtrip) without needing any external energy sources to fuel my transportation needs. I’m in sunny socal I get sun 360 days a year.
What cell phone? I refuse to carry a tracking device on me. I have a landline phone at home with an answering machine to screen the calls. I don't want to be in constant contact 24/7. When I go out my door, no one can contact me unless they happen to see me in person.
I am old school. When I was growing up, we got our groceries in paper bags that could be reused a number of ways, and then were biodegradable when worn out. We never wanted those cheap flimsy plastic bags. Paper bags are what I used for book covers in school. Soft drinks only came in returnable bottles. If anyone was rich enough to toss their bottle, someone less fortunate would come along, pick it up, and return it to a store for the 2 cent deposit. We sorted our trash back then too. Table scraps, etc. went for garden compost. Drink bottles were returned. Miracle Whip jars were reused for canning preserves and pickles. Paper was put in the burn barrel, and the resulting ashes were used in the garden for the tomatoes. There was very little plastic waste. That and tin cans was most of what we took to the landfill. And because the landfill was open, we sometimes picked up things we could recycle. My father got a great cast aluminum lawnmower body at the dump one time. He got out his tools, removed the engine, and put the body in the car as a replacement for our rusted out mower body.
So we were more for the environment than today's complainers.

Good for you. But not good for the children in Africa who did the mining for the batteries. All the rest is disastrous for the environment as well.
Sure how do you feel about your cell phone?
