That's number six. Please read the list again more carefully. The most important way to reduce your personal carbon footprint is NOT the most important thing you can do to fight climate change.
Moreover that doesn't even begin to touch the deforestation and insect biosphere collapse caused by the care of livestock feed crops. This NEEDS to be shouted from the rooftops at ALL times.
My gripe here is that going Vegetarian is THE way of doing that. Most folk hear "reduce your footprint" and think that means buying an electric car and taking shorter showers. Where as the meat industry accounts for almost all deforestation, one third of manmade GHG and nearly all environmental GHG
