Cloth diapering really is not that hard (and it is way cheaper than disposables), carpooling to work or taking
public transportation is a viable option for thousands of
parents who work in cities, and doing other simple things like recycling as much as possible,
using washable napkins instead of paper - towels,
using 100 % post-consumer recycled toilet paper (even just once in a while), and
using a handkerchief instead of kleenex are all simple life - changes that can add up to seriously changing your carbon footprint.

Try a few more expense - cutting steps like getting a roommate to share rent / utilities / food expenses;
using public transportation or walking instead of having the expense of a car; move home with you
parents until you earn enough to afford expenses and student loan debt.
