Tiny actions versus Lifestyle changes

I have read this interesting article about tiny actions such as recycling doing little to help climate change as compared to lifestyle changes such as taking public transport and less overseas holidays.

Convincing people to start with tiny actions is a good way to increase the awareness that everyone can do their part for their environment. Some may continue to do tiny actions. Some may find out what more they can do by reading up, joining green NGOs and perhaps decide to adopt some lifestyle changes.

It's really up to ourselves what we choose to do for the environment after learning about the impact of Man's activities. No one can force us unless the government implements legislation, so it's really voluntary action on our part and how affected we are by all the news and information.
