As global warming threatens the future of our society, Jo Fidgen tackles the ways in which ordinary people can make a difference. 

We're often told that we could help the environment by driving less, eating less meat, or using less water. 

But in the face of a challenge as significant as global warming, how big a difference can small changes really make? And what would the world look like if we took those solutions to their logical extremes?

The production of meat and animal products takes up a shocking proportion of our planet's land - from feed to farting, livestock are a huge burden on the planet. How far could ditching meat go to solving the climate crisis?
