How about we regulate corporate emissions[1]? That could actually have an effect that slows down climate change. Individual actions are almost irrelevant by comparison other than making people feel smug and good while the planet is going to hell. Sure, if you want to do any of the above things, go ahead, but let's not pretend like it's going to make a difference. Getting the top polluters to cut down or stop polluting on the other hand will make a difference and the only way of doing that is to regulate them. Unfortunately that requires voting as ineffective as voting is (extremely ineffective). Otherwise what? Should we overthrow our governments with violence or other such drastic solutions that are unlikely to work (there's a reason revolutions are called revolutions: things end up in the same place: one full revolution). In the meantime, I'm going to fly as much as I can and eat as much meat as I can (after being a vegetarian for well over a decade) as it doesn't fucking matter.
