If you think there's anything more significant to add here, leave a comment on the talk page.
Personal actions
- Frugalism
- Driving less (or not at all)
- Plant-based food
- Stopping food waste This includes food wasted by businesses Template:Pi
Collective actions ✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿
- Make neighborhoods walkable
- Also, improve public transit
- Replace ALL FOSSIL FUEL ENERGY with renewables or nuclear
- Requires major tech innovations that might not come soon enough.
- This would be a lot easier if energy consumption was lower - so in any case, the other actions on this page still matter more than ever.
Why those are the most important actions ↑
Most of the world's carbon emissions are affected by either...
- How much new "stuff" gets made. Template:Pi
- How much people drive/fly. Template:Pi
- Heating & cooling homes and other buildings. Template:Pi
- Food production. Template:Pi
Aren't there other things that can be done?
Yes. Read more: Longer list of actions.
- Be warned: Most have very limited impact, and some are even counterproductive!
