Fly/drive less, try to work remotely. 3. Biggest footprint to reduce climate change and damage to the nature - have no more than 1 child. I would love global 1 child-policy. IMHO quantity of humans is the core of the problem.

Do you really think that rapid growth of human population [0] is not the reason of irreversible damage to the nature and our planet in general? Also if you thought I was talking about murder or genocide - read it again. Our population need to stop growing (should even decline) and do it rapidly. Otherwise we'll be part of species extinction list. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_population https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_population
