It was interesting to do the energy audit, but our newly built home was designed to be extremely energy efficient, so I didn’t learn anything particularly new. I was disappointed that ithe audit didn’t include renewable energy for heating and cooling - we have been amazed at how well the geothermal unit works. I guess the audit is designed to help people who can do retrofits to improve energy efficiency rather than also gather insights in percentage, etc of people using more advanced solutions. 

Cultural characteristics, such as a belief in unlimited land, resources and individualism stands in the way of making choices which benefit the whole over what is at this minute most convenient and easiest for ones self.

I think taking public transport has so many wins, beyond the environmental benefit. For me is a sort of reality check, see how other people around me are behaving, what they are discussing, makes me cherish diversity of the place I live in.

Switching to an electric or hybrid also increases your resilience. If one were to combine with a home rooftop solar system, the only costs would be tires and batteries

I would rather use the money to feed the homeless an start creating a solution
that is long term and sustainable for those living without support on the street

I hadn't heard of Silvopasture before, but it seems like it has some of the same advantages as other integrated agricultural practices. Living things tend to thrive when they exist within systems rather than as separate from nature.
