Anyone who eats has the ability to affect Climate Change. Anyone who makes food for others is on the frontlines. According to the United Nations, the food system is responsible for about one third of all greenhouse gas emissions. As you make your own food decisions, all of these choices will make a difference.

With the bombardment of media telling you what you should and shouldn’t do (a little like our own list above), it can feel daunting. Getting good at taking actions to combat global warming is a bit like deciding to go on a diet and then struggling to stick to it. We don’t expect you to do everything every day even if your intentions are terrific. We just hope you keep coming back and setting yourself yet another goal.

In both cases, there are lots of individuals taking small actions and achieving monumental things.
