The most impactful climate actions you can take | The number one question about climate change that I’m asked nearly every day is, “What can I do?” (open.substack.com)

With every solution, and even in the title of this newsletter itself, I emphasize the number one thing individuals can do that most of us are still not doing: talk about it! Use your voice to explain why climate change matters and to advocate for climate action.

Don't have children
Don't build a house with concrete (incl foundation)
Public transport and cycling
No beef and minimize dairy products

Not having children doesn't solve anything. That's just an abandonment of the future. It directly harms people who need help - the elderly, those with disabilities and medical conditions, etc.

100% agreed. Suggesting "not having children" as the first best thing you can do is IMO lazy at best and eco-fascist at worst.
