Composting is great. But did you know that going car-free is 78x more impactful at cutting emissions? Or that reducing meat consumption cuts emissions far more than buying local or organic? WRI’s new research ranks the climate actions that truly move the needle: 🚲 Shift to sustainable ground travel 🖥️ ✈️ Shift to air travel alternatives ☀️ Install residential solar & increase home energy efficiency 🥗 Eat more plant-rich meals But there's a catch. Just "nudging" behavior, without making changes easier, yields only 10% of potential impact. The implication: to realize the transformative potential of behavior change for the climate, policymakers, industry and individuals (via collective action) need to push for sustainable choices that are attractive, affordable, and accessible for everyone.
