Stuff. Indeed it's mostly about stuff we buy (which is mostly from China).

If you want to lower emissions, not flying and not eating meat is important. But stuff we buy - clothes, electronics, cars, furniture, even solar panels: consider if you really need it, for how long will it last, and why can't it wait. Don't click "buy now"

Most people’s emissions come from housing, transport and food. Cheap tat from China barely registers.
Tariffs can do that
