Top 3 things every individual needs to do to slow down rising temperatures

We need to push governments and corporations but what we can do as individuals?

[Anonymous]

Not really anything that will make any noticeable difference. Govt and Corps as you mention pretty much cover it.

Any little bit more you are doing is in the noise.

1. Vote for politicians who will make and enforce legislation for sustainable practices, especially at a local level

2. Consider running for office on an environmentally sustainable policy

3. Focus on minimizing the things you waste — reduce as much as possible, reuse everything until it’s impossible, recycle what you can

Nothing. And what can govts or corps do? We can't change the weather. The Earth has gone through climate cycles since the beginning of time. We are currently in an ice age.

1. Don't fly.
2. Push government to take action; understand and accept that this may increase the cost of things you buy.
3. Buy less stuff. What you do buy, buy American (our environmental laws are better than China) and as local as possible to reduce shipping.

Doing my part by replacing decent plastic straws with gross cardboard straws that rapidly disintegrate will surely help to ease global warming.

Mine runs on solar, I feel fine about it. Electricity use is not our biggest issue, especially when electrical plants are (or can be) run without fossil fuels. In contrast, there is no way to run an airplane without burning a lot of polluting jet fuel.

Straws are also not a global warming issue, except in that producing plastic contributes to global warming. Straws are part of a different problem to do with trash disposal and plastics not breaking down. I hope these facts help you with your anger about being asked to change your behavior in any way.
