It can feel like things are happening behind closed doors at a global level. But, in the UK at least, we live in a democracy so as individuals, we do have the power to drive change! We can ask companies we're thinking of purchasing from to share their carbon footprint and reduction plan with us and if they're unable to respond, we can choose to spend our money elsewhere.
Chris Jones says that we should all have a "very clear understanding of the environmental impact of the goods we use and buy" and suggests we write to our MPs to ask about their views on global warming and how they’ll influence government, to help drive change.
