The world has already enough of everything. Especially in big cities second-hand marketplaces or refurbishing services and malls are available. Buying pre-loved (furniture and home decor) saves you money, extends the lifespans of products and keeps it away from landfills. If you need to carry large items, ask your friends to carry it with you in public transport. Don't be afraid to use allot of space or feel guilty about it. it is a structural problem that will get better the more people demand it. You can also rent a car sharing car (or ask a friend to drive). Usually this is still cheaper than buying a new item.

Steps this helps you take.
Eliminating single-use plastic products from your bathroom reduces plastic pollution in oceans and landfills, protecting marine life, and conserving resources while promoting a healthier ecosystem.
Many people are not separating and recycling correctly. Even though much of the plastic is being burned and called "recycling" it makes a difference. Always separate the different materials from each other. For example remove the paper and the aluminum lid from the plastic yoghurt cup (even if they go into the same bin) and sort your waste into the correct bins. This makes it easier for the machines in the recycling facilities to identify and sort the waste correctly and therefore increases recycling rates and material recovery. Check local recycling guidelines to learn how your bins work.
The type of food you buy is more important than how it was produced or where or when it was grown. Buying (non-organic) vegetables flown in, is better than buying (organic), local meat or dairy. The food miles only make about 5-20% of the food's emissions. This being said, if you have the choice, try to buy organic, local, seasonal vegan food for maximum impact.
