I don't get why we needed a second thread- the first one started out like this too. I guess we'll get to the bun fight soon enough.
My personal resolve is to not eat meat, and not have kids. The second one I don't mean as an offence to anyone with children, but my partner and I have no desire to bring a child into this world - thats the decison we've made for us.
Plane travel is a hard one - I typically do 1 international per year, and 5 domestic trips. 90% for work - and thats something we are trying to change with more video conferencing etc. But hard to replicate a conference or workshop online as so much of the productivity comes from the relationships made around those events. Plus, travelling internationally has other benefits and I think has been a largely good thing for society, so my hope is that we have better ways of doing it in the future.
I guess riding your bike to work is an easy one we should all be doing too. I get slack in winter haha.
As
@Haakon said, go vegan. I recall a report in the Economist stating that the single biggest thing to help climate change is for people to eat less meat.
It does pose the question of where protein sources will come from and in many places around the world it's insects, rather than meat which provides this.
Just avoid soy / tofu.
I definitely agree on the eat less / no meat part. But plants contain protein too, especially legumes etc, you can live quite happily just on plants if you eat a wide variety. Insects are another source of animal protein - but a much more efficient one at that. I don't eat insects because of other reasons (potential allergens), but am not opposed to them one bit.
And soy is fine, all the phytoestrogen fears would require you to basically live off the stuff, rather than just having a couple of serves a week.
