As global warming threatens the future of our society, Jo Fidgen explores 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?

Our wardrobes are a surprisingly massive contributor to environmental damage and climate change, as fast fashion habits encourage more and more reckless consumption. But what would the world look like if we decided to stamp out fashion's carbon footprint?
