Meat production is a major source of greenhouse gases, especially methane. Cutting back—especially on beef—can significantly reduce your personal carbon footprint. Try going vegetarian one day a week, or swap red meat for plant-based proteins.

Transportation accounts for about 25% of global emissions. Walk, bike, carpool, or ride the bus when you can. Bonus: it’s good for your health, your wallet, and the planet.

Avoid single-use plastics. Buy secondhand. Recycle what you can. And remember: the most powerful R is refuse. Don’t buy things you don’t need.

Individual actions are powerful—but real change also needs system-wide solutions. Support leaders, policies, and organizations pushing for environmental justice, renewable energy, and corporate accountability.

Switch off lights, use energy-efficient appliances, and insulate your living space. Every kilowatt-hour saved is a step toward a cleaner grid.

Fast fashion and overconsumption feed emissions and waste. Choose quality over quantity, support ethical brands, and repair rather than replace.

Follow Fridays for Future, Extinction Rebellion, and local groups to find protests, teach-ins, and rallies near you.

Your community probably has sustainability clubs, zero-waste groups, or community garden initiatives. Find one. Join in. Or start your own!
