Ask HN: What are you working to help make the world more sustainable?

I saw this video from economics explained today: https://youtube.com/watch?v=kVOTPAxrrP4 Which talks about how an MIT computer model from 1972 ‘predicted’ a collapse of our growth based global economy. And how it appears we’re on track to meet that prediction. So it has me thinking: Yes clearly political and social change are needed more than anything. But engineers like me don’t control governments. So what is there that a person can work on which is most likely to have to greatest positive impact on helping the world get past the coming energy, climate and population crises? At the moment I’m working on a robotics project which it is hoped will make fully autonomous mining and manufacturing closer to reality.
