Drive an EV when needed + solar panels on the roof - It's like riding on sunshine!
I avoid un-neccessary travel.

I've just come across the term Solar Punk in the past year or so. A lot of SP has been what I've felt was the best way to live harmoniously on the Earth. I'm still learning, and hope to continue.
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.
