No, you just use products made out of fossil hydrocarbons. Remember you showed the shingles on your roof .. they were made from a petroleum product. Bet your kayak and parkas are made from fossil hydrocarbons too. Probably the soles of your outdoor shoes and your Tesla's tires. And the asphalt on your street. In fact your lonely little wind turbine and the few solar panels, while they not be made of fossil hydrocarbons, they were mined, smelted, manufactured, transported using fossil fuels. The only ways I can think of for you to use renewable energy without using fossil fuels is to cut your own firewood by hand, pick up cow chips by hand to burn, etc and haul it all home on your back or using a horse, burro, etc. There's probably a few other ways, impractical ways.
