Written By Imogen Erskine

Research into lifestyle changes finds that six commitments by everyone in wealthier countries (eg the UK) would provide a quarter of the total reduction in carbon emissions needed to limit heating to 1.5C ‘The Jump’ campaign asks people to sign up to:

  • Eat a mainly plant-based diet with no waste;

  • Buy no more than 3 new items of clothing a year;

  • Keep electrical goods for at least 7 years;

  • Limit short-haul and long-haul flights

  • Make at least one change to nudge the system, eg insulate your house or change to a green energy supplier.
