What YOU can do about climate change 

I love what this Chanel has become

A superb series, that couldn't be more crucial at this time!

I think the US military is an underrated actor in the climate crisis

Can I say, this is an all too rare instance where a climate advocate has moved the public engagement messaging away from 'doing something' (perhaps not achieving much, but feeling good at having "done something"), and toward 'achieving something meaningful'. Well done. I might add to what Fatima mentioned about there being a place for everyone in the movement - especially for those who aren't activists marching in the street. Influencing your workplace to take account of environmental impact/consider and plan for how climate change will affect the business over the next 20 years as part of its strategic risk management, is going to be important to push businesses to do more. As individuals, building community support (influencing people you interact with) is important to pushing this as a priority for voters (and pushing Government to take more aggressive action).

Hey Jack, one thought for more views is swapping the thumbnail. I passed this a few times accidentally mistaking it for a YT ad.

It seems bizarre to me that we are answering this question with all sorts of answers, except the names of the companies and industries directly responsible for 70% of emissions.

So I live in Poland. And I can tell, that individual action may change some friends, maybe a few % of citizens, but whole point of acting eco in my house, job, whatever - it’s naive. It really is. Unless there are some critical systemic changes, laws and restrictions, other individual actions only scores for our concience, and not for climate. People’d be more glad to see steps how to change the point of view of our government, with possible outcomes of those changes (good, bad, financial, societal, psychological), which papers present them and how; than simple „turn the light off”.

I like your approach at 1:24, because this is exactly right, and much more productive and true, than just saying “drive electric cars”, “eat less meat” etc.

Such a complete series! Not only identifying a problem, deconstructing it, but finally a call to action. So relevant, the sort of content that should go virtual/a trend!

System change is the key to stopping climate change ⭐️ However, when we ask for system change, let us not forget to ask for a change to a plant based sustainable food system. This is the way to not only stop but reverse climate change 🙌🏽.

This is necessary! Thank you for bringing hope. Here in Brazil we have Bolsonaro as our president, and the greatest forest we know is burNing everyday. Not only the multiple species of trees and animals, but indigenous tribes are losing their homes. It is absurd how the people could vote for someone so vile and evil as Bolsonaro.

This is the tipe of content that must be spread! Thanks Jack and the team behind this series!

Protect mother earth 🌍 ♥️

Thank you for this series!

Thank you for bringing this to my as well as so many others' attention, more specifically, cause I was wanting to know what I could do to better the situation for our planet. I would like to leave earth knowing that we did all we could to better the situation. It is good to hear that we have time.

great reminder that others care too, and that collective action matters more than being overly concerned with what to do for the world by yourself. thank you for this!

Omg this series is so good! Great job.

The world has to to see this series!

thank you so much for this series!!

I’m absolutely loving this series 🙏 keep up the amazing work!

Really need more of this!! ❤️❤️ GRAZIE MILLE 😭❤️

That was very informative! Loved itt!

Wish Jack and his peers would start to at least acknowledge the elephants in the room, such as the fact that the U.S. Military Is World’s Biggest Polluter and has a bigger carbon footprint than 100 countries combined.

There's nothing we can do, but try to be happy, be kind to others, and love your family. Times are going to get tough, we need to support each other. But Jack, technology is NOT the answer. It just won't solve the problem. It's about growth, we still expect growth, we still expect to buy crap we want, but don't need. As long as we want growth, we will be using the Earth's resources. This is what fundamental change is. Getting rid of capitalism and finding a new way to live. Can we?

Would be interesting to also the personal steps one can take next to the political one outlined in this vid! :) Vegetarian vs meat eating for example, donating to reforestation schemes, transportation, growing a garden, reducing consumption, go thrift shopping for second hand clothes, less consumerism for electronic goods, recycling & educating others etc. Great content btw :)

So great!! Thank you

This deserves more views !!!

This series is superb and I hope it reaches some people that can learn from this

Thank you for this!

this is a bloody good video!!

Love this!

this is beautiful and fills me with hope - I really believe we can get there and hope this video spreads to as many people as it can!

I think it's great spreading awareness about climate change. I'm writing a huge novel that highlights the importance of living at one with nature and I've produced a song about it. But at the same time, although I like the new theme of this channel, I have to be honest and say I miss the old Jack, who had been out enjoying the beauty of life with people like Louis. It would be great to see the old side as well.

International conference"Global crisis. It's already affects everyone" was really shocking and eye-opening about climate changes. We all urgently need to act and build the Creative society to survive.

This is so cool!

You are doing great job

Thank you for doing this

Knew you would raise your resonating voice for this scary matter...

This video is wonderful! I hope more people can watch this 😔

This content is what I've been looking for. Thank you. It's now time for change

So helpful thanks jack your awesome

Love the messege of hope :)

Breaking Boundaries is a great documentary about the Planet’s “systems” (Boundaries) and climate change, and also about the societal change, that is needed.

It's Time to change 🙏🏻

I encourage people to read company’s ESG reports and pressure regulators to standardize a single set of rules to increase transparency, accountability and comparability of what companies are doing to improve their environmental footprint.

Lead on Jack!

Thank u

how is this not viral

Every great shift in human history began with a band of committed activist who refused to give up. Climate protection requires massive system change. Join the movement.

i believe if earth full of happiness...and i believe charity will burn away any badluck...i think solution is empathy. ...the world will not end....

Comment for the algorithm

I am going to protest very soon!

Everyone: join good communities to stop climate change Jeff Bezos: producing more CO2 than "everyone" making a little trip to space

The system needs a reboot. Circular economy is ideal. Pollution is not necessary.

Science says we don't have time for smoking hopium. System change at this point means overthrowing it by any means necessary no matter how painful it is to not have the conveniences of an industrial society.

Honestly liked the video. I do not feel that I was given practical advice on what I can do individually to help climate change. What I heard was what we have done like turning off lights, going electric, changing travel options or managing carbon footprint is not enough. Well what can I do practically to change the system at large?

Here's the problem: I agree we should switch to Green energy sources, but lets stop trying to convince people that we can stop the damage. We can't. China, Russia, and India will continue until the last drop. The damage is inevitable. What we should focus on is being ready for when there is no fuel left, and also to protect our country from rising sea levels and freak weather conditions. I will also say that traveling by train is a good alternative, within a nation, if they bring the prices down. It's not an option for international travel though, and that is something that no one is willing to give up. Not only do I want to continue going to places like Japan and Australia, I want to do so affordably. We also know that historically a lot of wars have happened because countries have not engaged with one another, and hate the people they can't see or speak too. Cheap international travel to all has broken down those stigmas and barriers.

Are there any podcasts that you guys listen to that talk about subjects like this?

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

🧡🧡

A climant change not is the only thing important in the eart. What happen with covid? Insecurity? Hunger?...every people figth in your way.

The climate is not in crises. We are.

If you're looking for away to help the environment and fight climate change you can use ecosia they are a search engine that plants trees.

People went into debt to buy/use wooden boxes, how do they pay $500k for the box, they have to harvest fiat to pay for it, people walk at 3km/hr, your job is 10, 20, 30kms, the rising need for fossil fuels, Crash the fossil fuel economy, society and culture to force a change to a new paradigm shift into a light based economy, society and culture

Fantastically written and clearly presented, an excellent piece.

Why this video has so small number of views?

but what can we do?

14k views only within a week having 3.75mil subscribers? 🙄 I guess the "what YOU can do" make people already skip it? Sad anyways. Very sad. 😔

I personally tackle climate change through living: 1. FULLY VEGAN 2. MINIMALIST 3. LOW WASTE 4. CHILD FREE 5. PROMOTING ALL OF THOSE ON SOCIAL MEDIA

With disasters everywhere we must act now to reduce global warming. Here are some suggestions. 1. Start using soda fountains where you get your personal reusable bottle filled, then ban sodas, juices, and water in plastic bottles. This technology alone would save possibly billions of tons in waste and is already used all over. 2. Go back to using wax paper for wrapping sandwiches as this will eventually go back to nature. Ban plastic sandwich bags. 3. Grocery stores should only be allowed to offer cloth, or back to nature plastic bags for customers that forget their own. 4. Solar, wind, and water based electrical power generation should all be developed before any other less Eco friendly sources would be allowed. 5. Now buildings can be built at any level without using wood, we should convert all housing and other construction to these products, and stop cutting down trees. 6. We must start buying electric vehicles from bikes to cars, pickups, and SUV's. Also get solar panels on your vehicle. Even if it only gets you a few miles per day it all adds up to that much less pollution from coal and nuclear power generation stations. 7. All maritime vessels should be fully equipped with solar panels and/or bladeless turbines that would help supplement or replace the power used from diesel generators. If a large vessel becomes totally free of polluting fuels great, but in the meantime any percentage we can reduce should be done. Now also use wind power including the use of a big free floating large air sail, and maybe regular masts and sails. Now use these to reduce even the electricity needed, making solar and wind recharging more likely without diesel. 8. With solar, water, and wind generated power getting cheaper, and with batteries now available with much better storage capacities, and at much cheaper prices than before, we must all convert our homes and shops. This will stop massive amounts of coal and nuclear pollution along with the diesel used to mine and transport it. 9. Build huge skyscraper style buildings all over for farming only, and then convert much of the agriculture into aquaponics, and hydroponics, then grow food products on all floors. This would allow multiple crops to be grown in the same buildings year round. These buildings will have a 24/7/365 regulated indoor climate creating way more food yield per area of land, per year. Conversion to this new way of growing should one day replace most land use for food production, then we can let some areas go back to nature. This is more than is possible with todays natural growth, due to seasonal considerations and the fact the earth has only has one floor to grow on. Since available area for agriculture is almost used up, we must make more some how, and upward or underground are the only two ways I can think of. 10. This is very important. WE MUST immediately set a population cap on earth and start imposing a one child law on all areas over that amount of density. In short the biggest threat to our existence is the massive consumption of resources to support us all. We need a one child law world wide, that is automatic once this density is reached. It must be enforced. 11. We all must vote Green world wide before it is too late. Look around and see all the weather getting ever more erratic as we continue to pollute. In a very few years it will be too late. Voting Green now is something we all can do at every level, in every election, in every part of the world. This will make a difference, as it will not only get concerned people in elected positions, but will scare politicians from other parties into getting greener in order to stay elected. Above all please remember this, a mass shift in voting is one thing that will get much attention in political circles.

How came from isleworth and syon

5:27 same crowd fake noise as beijing olympics 2008 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fIfPmDAMnVo.html at 0:27. I hear this crowd noise all the time and no one believes me when I say it comes from the video game.

What's with the we isn't it too late for we

Great video but I forgot it just one week later. Really, do you speak to your neighbors n discuss about climate change??? No because of social distancing...

Time, is the problem : as you say changing the system requires a change in who is in charge, which for a lot of the world requires elections - so that's 4 years for the UK and the US as an example - so that's 1/2 the time we supposedly have left gone. And you then need enough candidates elected that have enough of a majority to actually force change. As for both the UK and the US the 'green agenda' is seen as further to the left than the left - then in all honesty, you got no chance. So best case is like the progressives in the US at the moment, a few at every election, so give it 10-20 years and the movement will have enough political power to actually do something. Energy is the basis of the economy - your asking for a change of control to that basis - from the few (whether that be oil companies or countries) to the many (distributed interconnected power). As an example of the problem (within the current economic model) - I heard electric cars could be used as 'batteries' to even out supply - so as you are supplying electricity to the grid you get payed - then later you need to recharge what was taken - you pay for that. There obviously cant be any profit in either of those situations. And this applies to the generation as well - you can sell or store your surplus, but you wont sell if it is at a loss. And - what replaces the tax income currently gained from fossil fuels (especially petrol). The change required is equivalent to the agricultural revolution, the industrial revolution, and the tech revolution all rolled into one and enacted within a decade or two (at most). That's a big ask from a global population that is still enthralled by tribal politics and the personal accumulation of status though the application of wealth.

Kind of sad that out of nearly 4 million subscribers, only 20k have watched these videos. Pretty sad social insight on the state of the world and people's priorities.

2050.....

Inaccuracy in the end segment. It's not eating more plants relative to your meat intake that makes the big dietary impact, it's the way in which those plants or animals are raised. Carbon-sequestering techniques are a key component of the future, after all.

Environmentalists want to take us back to a time of purity and innocence that never existed.

Mostly dangerous drivel. Globally the ACE index (accumulated cyclone energy) 1980-2021 shows no increasing trend. Global Hurricane Landfalls 1970-2021 (updated from Weinkle et al, 2012) shows no trend. Satellite data since 1980 shows a slight downward global trend for total hurricaine numbers with 2021 being a record low year. The IPCC reports in AR6, chapter 11, "The total global frequency of TC [tropical cyclone] formation will decrease or remain unchanged with increasing global warming (medium confidence)." Multidecadal variability in Atlantic hurricaines is most probably related to the AMO (Vecchi et al, 2021). NOAA data 1851-2021 shows no trend in number of hurricaine landfalls with the record high being 1886. What the data from NOAA SPC shows about tornados: EF1-EF5 (1954-2022) no trend; EF3-EF5 (most destructive) (1954-2022) 50% decline. No EF5s in US since 2013 (a record absence). The Global Land Precipitation Anomaly from AR5 will disappoint with deviations from the average increasing by 0.2% per decade, but if you look at the actual data, it's just very variable over the decades. Drought appears to be decreasing (Watts et al, 2018) measured by SPI 1901-2017. Deaths from natural disasters are about 0.6% of what they were a century ago. What else? Oh, deserts like the Sahara have shrunk considerably and the Earth has greened by 15% or more in a human lifetime (NASA). On extinction the rate is very low: 900 known lost species for 2.1 million known species in 500 years. At that frequency it will take nearly 190,000 years to reach 15% extinction i.e. a mass extinction. There is no climate crisis. This video is anti-humanist.

Come on, Jack! Why don't you dare say that we need the S word? (Socialism)

EAT MORE PLANTS AND LESS MEAT AND DAIRY

if we do a lot of damage to the world too much chaos too much war...stop war......by logic...world will end...but if we make heaven is a place on earth....at least world will not end...just my 0.0000111111 cent ya......just my small potato thought ..............

go vegan!

If climate change is so apocalyptic why is everybody still having children? Maybe start solving climate change by not having babies. Then we can stop bulldozing every forest and jungle to make room for them all.

We cant do anything while under capitalism. You say "system change", but seem afraid to say the word "capitalism". Lets be clear, everyone needs to stop saying "system change" and openly tell it like it is! We are never going to change the situation we are in, without getting rid of capitalism.

Middle class kid does RU-vid then turns to lecturing and moralising others. Give it a rest.

Such a hypocrite, Jack has travelled all over the world via fossil fuels!

Let’s go Brandon

This wont change anything.

Enough is enough. You have 3.75M subs and will not care, but I am officially unsubbing. I have no need for your climate hysteria.

Yep. Defo unsubscribing now.

Thank you for this!
