Personal lifestyle changes can only have an impact of a few percent at most. We cannot ignore the other 95 percent of the problem. Some have suggested that we can forget about caps and just focus on behavioural changes, which is insane. <a href="http://selfdestructivebastards.blogspot.com/2009/10/voluntary-lifestyle-changes.html" rel="nofollow"> http://selfdestructivebastards.blogspot.com/2009/10/voluntary-lifestyle-changes.html</a> Yes, lifestyle changes are good, but they can only slow emissions growth slightly, they will not reduce emissions.

I reckon there are even greater benefits: all the benefits that come from having a more happy and healthy lifestyle. Riding your bike to work, growing your own organic veggies and feeling good about the positive changes you've made are all benefits of these personal changes to the way we live. “The greatest benefit to those who adapt now is that changes forced on them in the future will be minimised, as they will already have made the adjustment in their own time and in their own way.”
