Reducing our carbon footprints

Reducing our carbon footprint: It seems the world is slowly coming to the agreement that that is what we need to do if we need to ensure that the earth is habitable for living being after 60-100 years. Right now the ideas about reducing carbon emissions are still being bandied about, without much effective action being taken.
I think we as individuals can do a lot to reduce our carbon footprints. For those interested in this subject the Internet throws of plenty of action plans, such as reducing their food miles, using public transport more often, etc. I think even by simply changing the way we eat can contribute a lot to reducing our carbon footprints.
Over the centuries we have become habituated to eating over-cooked food that is zapped of its vitality and nutrients. At the same time, ancient Yoga treatises say we need to eat more raw food, such a fruits and vegetables. Imagine that: if the whole population of this crowded planet decides to switch to raw fruits and vegetables from today, I think we could solve a lot of our global warming problems, plus a lot of our health and living ones, too.
But that is easier said than done. For those who would like to try this path, one word of caution: don't just start on raw food from tomorrow. You need to make the switch slowly, starting from semi-boiled vegetables and fruits to a completely raw and fresh diet.
It sounds a daunting task, and maybe even a 'tasteless' one; still it is worth trying.
More so because I believe it can guarantee all of us a better life, and a more 'liveable' planet!
