Is #climatechange a systemic problem where we need to focus on the systems to find a solution? Or is it a collective action where we each need to change our behavior to find a solution.
Some argue it's a systems issue.
I argue #ClimateAction requires BOTH...

I appreciate
Michael Grunwald's conclusion:
"In reality, all emissions matter. They accumulate in the atmosphere, so every tank of gasoline, cross-country flight and fossil-fueled load of laundry makes the earth a little warmer. And anything you can do to reduce your emissions makes the problem a little easier to solve, once we collectively decide we want to solve it."

"Behavior change is not as simple as reading a post I agree with and then my behavior changes."
Apply a basic understanding of habit change to reduce our #emissions to address #climatechange.
A transition to #vegetarian, flexitarian or #vegan diet requires changing actions I will take today.

Choices we make each day impact the greenhouse gas emissions we cause. Read about a simple focus to significantly cut down #emissions: eat no beef and less meat.
The post explores the emissions reductions if we eat no beef & substitute chicken/pork/fish; or shift to #vegetarian or #vegan diets. It also offers a link for a tool to estimate the emissions caused by your #diet & lets you explore alternate #diets that would have the same caloric value.

"Household consumption directly and indirectly accounts for 70% of global #emissions. Our daily decisions—what we buy, how we travel, what we eat, and how we heat and cool our homes—are levers with direct power to create change."

The Spiritual Disciplines of Climate Action: "There are so many ways that we can align our values with the ways we live our lives to better care for God's creation and to better love our neighbor." Kyle Meyaard-Schaap offers a solid list of spiritual disciplines in his book Following Jesus in a Warming World: A Christian Call to Climate Action.

"I hope you will take the time to sit down with each other, have tea with your friends & your family, & discuss these things... Then make your decision & act to save our beautiful planet. Changing your way of living will bring you a lot of joy right away and, with your first mindful breath, healing will begin." Thich Nhat Hanh in The World We Have. Sharing diverse voices encouraging us to reduce our personal emissions.

"The chief task in life is simply this: to identify and separate matters so that I can say clearly to myself which are externals not under my control, and which have to do with the choices I actually control. Where then do I look for good and evil? Not to uncontrollable externals, but within myself to the choices that are my own . . ."

My emissions are in my control!
