Ok didn't see that one.
But this one is about what is each individual poster doing about it.
It would be good to gauge, what is or isn't be done in the NSC community.

I personally have committed to eradicating all unnecessary exercise, thereby keeping my heartbeat and breathing rates at a lower level. Consequently I will be breathing out less CO2.

I bought some new shoes as I couldn't get the carbon off of the soles of my other ones. Got sick of being moaned at for treading carbon into the house.

Oh! Let's play "Climate change thread bingo"!
[ ] Why should I do anything when China/India don't bother?
[ ] Somthing negative about Greta Thunberg
[ ] Climate change scientists have an agenda
[ ] Vegans
[ ] Why hasn't the council collected my recycling in two weeks?

I make it a personal goal to recycle as many glass bottles as I can

I cycle and use public transport the vast majority of the time - the car is rarely used.
I don't eat meat.
I make clothes last and buy second hand when I need to update.
I reuse containers, particularly if they are plastic.
I use energy saving lightbulbs.
I never leave electrical goods on 'stand by'.
House is well insulated and central heating is used only when absolutely necessary.
Amongst other stuff.
What is your agenda here? Are you going to label me a snowflake hippy?

We’ve done this very recently.
1) Reusable cup at the coffee shop. It’s shocking to think how many cups I have contributed to landfill.
2) Meat free two days a week.
3) Don’t own car
4) Reuse as much as possible.
5) Buy quality items and products which last, or can be refurbished or recycled.

3/5 for me, does that make me good or bad?
Personally though I think my footprint is pretty soft. I dont buy anything new except food/alcohol etc. All my clothes, tech etc is second hand, I dont drive, I go by train to vacations.. not that I think it really matters much, I just dont know why I would buy new things when there are old stuff working perfectly fine. I've had the same computer for ten years and same phone for fifteen, and aside from my GPU fan being dead they work just fine.
I think if there is one advice to give, buy less shit you dont really need and try to drive as little as possible. If say 500 million people do this, we could possibly mitigate one year of Chinese growth!

I installed 4kW of solar panels on my roof in Jan-18.

Whilst I agree climate change is real, I’m driven more by a simple desire to leave less waste. None of those sniping swivel-eyed types have ever given me a reasonable argument against this stance.
What do you find “negative” about Greta?

Recycling everything we can
Putting unwanted furniture up on facebook groups for anyone who wants it rather than taking it down the tip
Very consciously cutting right back on work (air) travel
Walking into town/shops rather than taking the car
Using a refillable water bottle and insulated mug for drinks
Buying loose fruit and veg not wrapped stuff
Little things I know but having a go at least......................

Her as an individual, not much. No clue why she gets invited to the UN or different governments and shit, but not really much against her as a person. However the effect she has on a lot of young women - climate anxiety and unjustified feelings of shame - is pretty negative to a lot of peoples mental health. Theres a kind of "cult of personality" surrounding her which I feel is unnecessary to any realistic solutions to this problem.
