I think many people signal that they are against global warming, but very few are ready to give up any thing. Many people I know just think not using polyethylene is the only required thing(which emits less CO2 than reusable bag, even counting reusing), or at most using bicycles for intracity travel. I think here is few of the (hard)things you can do which actually does effect according to my research:
- Don't travel on planes(And definitely don't be like Leonardo Dicaprio using private planes after giving speech on climate change)
- Don't eat beef/pork
- Don't use AC or use it minimally
- Same with hot water
- Don't have lawn in your house
- PhasmaFelis 8y agoIIRC something like 70%-80% of CO2 emissions are industrial, not personal. By all means do whatever you can, but the idea that global warming is all about our individual habits is essentially a smokescreen. If we want to fix this, the most important thing is to force corporations and governments to take action.

- cagenut 8y agothis is a false dichotomy people use as an excuse to do nothing. individual action and forcing corporations and governments to change are not in opposition, they are a feedback loop.
