  • The fashion industry, specifically "fast fashion," is a major contributor to climate change, accounting for up to 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions, which exceeds the combined emissions of shipping and aviation.
  • Agricultural practices, including deforestation and poor land use, are responsible for approximately 40% of greenhouse gas emissions. In the United States, a 25% reduction in meat consumption by all citizens could lower global GHG emissions by 82 million metric tons annually.
  • Food waste is the primary item by weight in landfills, which subsequently serve as the third largest source of methane emissions.
  • Food systems are a primary driver of biodiversity loss, causing 70% of the loss on land and 50% in water.
  • Energy efficiency can be significantly improved through simple household changes: LED bulbs use at least 75% less energy than incandescent lighting, and using a dishwasher is more water-efficient (8.7 gallons per load) than hand-washing for 10 minutes (20 gallons).
  • The document identifies advocacy as the most critical individual action for addressing the climate crisis, specifically urging engagement with local, state, and federal governments on renewable energy funding and the energy transition.
