What steps have you taken to reduce climate change?My partner and I are renovating our house to make it more energy-efficient. When that's completed we'll be adding solar panels and a windmill for micro-generation. We recycle, reuse and repair what we can, and donate what we don't use. We buy things used when we can or from organic producers, and buy as much of our food as possible in bulk and from local growers. We use public transportation or our bicycles to get around.
What has changed in your lifestyle to reduce your footprint on the planet?

I think that the only honest answer to this would be "Not enough".
I am fully aware of the seriousness of the situation, and constantly complain about the lack of concern shown by authorities and governments. Nevertheless, I find myself feeling that efforts are a waste of time because very few other people are bothered and my efforts alone will not make a significant difference.
I am also aware of what a poor excuse this is for not doing what I realise I should be doing, but any other answer would be a lie.
