What can individuals do?

The easiest thing you can do is to switch your energy supplier to a green one, which I have done. Many suppliers now have a green tariff. Beware greenwashing though - there are a lot of misleading or even fraudulent claims out there.

You should ensure that your home is insulated as well as it can be.

Then it gets a bit harder.

You can switch to an electric car, or stop using a car altogether.

You can switch your home to using a heat pump instead of a boiler.

You can reduce the number of flights that you take. Where possible you can travel by train or car to the closer destinations.

Then comes the hardest part, changing your diet. Meat and dairy have a much higher carbon footprint than plant based foods.
