I, really, don't believe that normal everyday people (across the globe) would be able to do anything. To explain, governments and corporations are the ones that can bring about the most change.
not wrong in the least
food has always seemed like the most likely venue for people to take deliberate climate change mitigation actions to me, because it's comparatively a low bar for entry, there's an established history of more-environmentally-friendly diets and foods to choose from, and it's always getting easier to eat less resource intensive foods. i'm not sure if that will spur people into further action beyond that, though.
Obviously we're not there yet, but anybody have any alternatives to coffee that work for them? I have tried switching to tea because of anxiety but I think the tannins in black tea actually made it worse. Green tea wasn't as bad, but I just didn't enjoy green tea very much. I may have been doing it wrong.
