Implement a system of eco-credits that accrue over time and allow people to buy luxury items when the credits fill up. Like okay, you waited X number of years, you can afford a small boat or whatever your hobby is.
Ban meat, except as byproducts from things like prairie restoration projects. Let people go nuts on that wild buffalo steak or whatever once a year on Christmas or something as a treat, if they want.
Alternatively, library socialism. I want municipally-owned power tools and vehicles that people can check out as needed or use in municipal workshops/co-ops. I shouldn't have a consumer incentive to buy anything I'm going to use a couple times per year or buy the shittiest version because I can't afford one that will last. If a consumer good can be repaired, I should never feel like the path of least resistance is throwing it away with no obligation to preserve it. The poorest person in that city should be able to use the same boat the wealthiest person can with equal opportunity to better themselves with it.
