Chasing after non-stop economic growth requires 24/7 use of fossil fuels, emissions have only gone down when the economy took a hit (GFC + COVID), what can people (in the top economies of the world) do to hurt GDP, and as a consequence reduce emissions?

We don't need 100% participation, 3.5% at minimum is good enough.

We need something that's easy to do, low-risk (at a personal level), and would immediately have a big impact (and can be done for a decent length of time).

Any ideas?
