Green Fact

The most effective ways individuals can help mitigate climate change are by living car-free, avoiding air travel, using renewable energy at home, and switching to a plant-based diet. These actions have much greater potential to reduce emissions than other commonly promoted strategies, such as recycling or upgrading household lightbulbs.
