I in no way intended to suggest that I am not partly responsible.

To reduce your impact for anyone interested:
- Minimise driving as much as possible
- Minimise flying across continents
- Minimise consumption of beef and dairy
- Minimise consumption of other meat
Very roughly in order of impact. Recycling has a pretty tiny impact (in terms of GHGs, waste of natural resources is a separate problem). But people are often surprised that milk is worse than chicken for example (g CO2 per g protein). And one flight to America is approximately as bad as driving for an entire year.
I've cut out a lot, but am reluctantly giving up veganism for the next month (not enough time and energy to cook for 30 mins every day) and flying to Nepal soon so not so great right now

On a loosely related note, I spent a week climbing in the Austrian Alps in June. I was nearly brought to tears to see a glacier that I have known for 15 years had reduced by 30m in length since the last time I crossed it two years ago.
15m per year is desperately sad. It'll be gone in our lifetimes.
And that is after one of the longest and snowiest winters in living memory.
