- buy things with less or no packaging

- get locally sourced food

- get less things; waste less; buy less

Packaging and cargo are the two big problems, one for the plastic pollution, the other for the co2 emission. It's not meat consumption.

Cutting personal driving/travel is also good but more for environmental well being - eg less noise. It will not make any big changes in the longer run.

Downsizing and less stuff will.

Do you have any sources for this?

According to a 5 year Oxford University study, the single best thing we can do at an individual level to decbarbonise is to say no to dairy and meat.
