Climate change is often seen as the mother of all environmental problems in today’s world. Global warming, deforestation, overexploited natural resources, wasted land as well as water and air pollution all contribute to expanding the mammoth environmental problem of climate change. The fact that environmental problems are on such a large world scale, it is all too common to believe that on an individual level, climate change is beyond our control. It is of course true that if every single person on the planet changed their lifestyles completely for the benefit of the planet, then environmental problems will most likely cease to exist, but that surely seems like a ridiculous fantasy. We can’t expect the whole world to change but we can start by working on ourselves.
We’ve all heard that on a personal level we can do the ‘little’ things; use energy saving light bulbs, use less water, drive less and walk more yet I would like to discuss another daily behaviour that is probably one of the best kept secrets of what an individual can do and have enormous impact potential, in battling the massive issue of climate change. I believe the best way to combat climate change on a personal level is to make changes in our diet, by consuming less meat…
