Personal lifestyle changes can only have an impact of a few percent at most. We cannot ignore the other 95 percent of the problem. Some have suggested that we can forget about caps and just focus on behavioural changes, which is insane. <a href="http://selfdestructivebastards.blogspot.com/2009/10/voluntary-lifestyle-changes.html" rel="nofollow"> http://selfdestructivebastards.blogspot.com/2009/10/voluntary-lifestyle-changes.html</a> Lifestyle changes are good, but they can only slow emissions growth slightly, they will not reduce emissions.

I would like to add "grow your own food" to the list as I believe that it easier to do than most people think. In fact, I think the people that say they have black thumbs probably just don't know how to apply water to the soil to get it to moisten all the roots. Keep up the delicious work, Marlena Hi John,

Keep up the delicious work,

Ever since the UN Report, Livestock's Long Shadow, nobody can deny that livestock contributes 18% of the greenhouse gases. Maybe if everybody kind of eases away from all those animal foods, they will feel better and make a huge change for the Earth. Let's hope we can make a difference!
