We recommend four widely applicable high-impact (i.e. low emissions) actions with the potential to contribute to systemic change and substantially reduce annual personal emissions: having one fewer child (an average for developed countries of 58.6 tonnes CO2-equivalent (tCO2e) emission reductions per year), living car-free (2.4 tCO2e saved per year), avoiding airplane travel (1.6 tCO2e saved per roundtrip transatlantic flight) and eating a plant-based diet (0.8 tCO2e saved per year). These actions have much greater potential to reduce emissions than commonly promoted strategies like comprehensive recycling (four times less effective than a plant-based diet) or changing household lightbulbs (eight times less).

People Twitter
People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

- No bullying or international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major figure or a politician.
Organize with Sunrise Movement or other similar groups. The US government is a oligarchy, our representatives don't represent it. The only way we will get any kind of change is through organizing and forcing them to listen to us.
- ??? Do, instead of hoping that someone else will do for you
- Limit car use to a minimum
- Ok
- Stop flying
- Learn DIY and repair
The plane one is debatable. Because I believe they're scheduled to fly anyways if you're on it or not.
And they go "oh well, sorry climate."
Unpopular, but honest, opinion:
I don't care. I have put no offspring into this world, my responsibility ends with me. I don't care for the future of this horrible species that we are.
I drive multiple cars and a boat for fun and waste tons of fuel, i fly as often as we like to, i buy whatever i want and throw away whatever i want, my server-room alone uses more power than most families of 5 do...
At least we mostly eat vegetarian so there's that 😁
