In today's news, the UN reported that last year was the fourth warmest on record. We would like to hear what our Cafestudy members are doing to help slow down climate change. Have you changed your habits recently? Or maybe you are meaning to but haven't got round to it yet? Please let us know!

For a long time I had been privy to the affect of animal agriculture on climate change. It's impact is by far the highest on the environment even though it is a little known contributor. However, it was only in August last year that I was finally convinced to go vegetarian in order to make an impact. I think because in Western society we are the ones who will least feel the impact of climate change it is easy to dismiss for the instant gratification of a steak of taking for granted our resources. But the injustice of that concept is so large and given our unwillingness in the current political climate who suffer as a result I realised that because my bubble of ignorance had been burst, it would almost be barbaric not to take action. Out of sight, out of mind is simply not good enough.
