Can you share a few sustainable choices people can make in their everyday lives that have an impact?

First, choosing locally sourced food reduces the carbon footprint and supports the local economy, fostering a closer relationship with our food sources. Second, minimizing food waste is crucial. With about one-third of global food production wasted, often at the consumer level, simple measures like meal planning and using leftovers can significantly reduce this waste. Educating friends and family about sustainable practices can lead to a ripple effect, encouraging broader adoption of eco-friendly behaviors.

Whether they're at the local council level or on a national scale, it's essential to actively engage in the democratic process and have your voice heard. Voter numbers are declining, especially in younger people, skewing policymaking in favor of older generations, so we all need to get to the ballot boxes and bring our friends!

The largest impacts you can have as an individual are: better insulating your home, reducing the amount of meat and animal products you consume, and reducing the amount that you travel long-distance.
