A paper published today (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-50302392) points to a global 'climate emergency'.<p>As an individual, how will any lifestyle alteration I make have any impact on climate change compared to the damage caused by livestock farming, population growth and fossil fuels etc?<p>Beyond that, what other action could I take? Were I to make a career change, which companies could I work for and make a measurable impact? Or would my time be better served in government?

Or as an more extreme example, you can follow Jadav Payeng's example and personally replant a 1,360 acres forest: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jadav_Payeng" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jadav_Payeng</a>
Every lifestyle alteration you make has a difference. A small one, true, but if billions of people make small changes, it adds up.<p>By all means, look for big actions as well... but do the small stuff.
