What can individuals do to decrease their own carbon footprint?

Individuals can do many things to reduce their carbon footprint, including eating and shopping locally, walking or biking instead of driving (when possible), driving carbon-friendly cars, eating fewer animal byproducts, flying less, recycling, reusing, installing solar panels, voting for bills that support the environment, patronizing environmentally-conscious businesses, and consuming fewer products that produce emissions. Any effort on and individual level to decrease our carbon footprint is helpful in the fight against climate change.
