I found these paragraphs inspiring enough to share. Just living is praxis when you live mindfully.

While this is certainly a valuable mindset and I agree with it wholeheartedly, it does necessitate being in a somewhat privileged position in life. Sometimes it's all we can do to make it through the day, pay our rent and bills, or keep a desperate hold of our shit jobs. Growing gardens, installing solar panels, or changing diets aren't always at the top of the priority list when there are other more basic needs that are still unmet.

It also won't solve the problems we have with the environment and such. Not even if everyone did this. Go nuts, don't let me stop you, but more is needed.
