      Seems to me the two biggest personal changes one can make are related to diet and transportation.

      Realize the destructive nature of the animal agriculture industry, as well as the automobile industry and adjust accordingly.

      Go vegan, and swap car for ebike. Hopefully inspiring others to do the same eventually.
