What can an individual do about climate change? In this video, Kornelis Blok talks about the individual choices a person can make in his or her role as a consumer and as a citizen.

Key takeaways

• What an individual can do as a consumer or as a citizen are two important distinct roles.
• As a consumer, you can, first of all, reduce the footprint of your energy use: electricity, heating fuels, and transportation.
• Next, priorities are to reduce the impact of food consumption (less waste, more vegetable) and the impact of material use (e.g. repair and recycle).
• As a member of society: you can be a role model, join an energy community, vote for parties that care for climate, and many other things!
