Eat Less Meat
Methane is the second most significant greenhouse gas and cows are one of the greatest methane emitters. Their grassy diet and multiple stomachs cause them to produce methane, which they exhale with every breath. The amount of land needed for cows to graze causes more trees to be cut down, thus allowing more carbon emissions to escape into the atmosphere.
