2.  what do you do, if any, in concrete ways to slow it?

My friend, you are living in Singapore.

 

1. Without imported food.....you may die on hunger. We depends on imported food to survive.

 

2. Without home aircond, you cannot sleep well in a humid night. Next morning, your blood raise and you become hot temper.

1. I work in an industry greatly affected by climate change. So, yes, as my livelihood sorta affected by it.

2. a. Bring my own Tupperware to take away purchased/extra food when eating out.

    b. Bring own shopping bag when at grocers or market.

    c. Reuse shirts or pants when I'm not sweaty.

    d. While driving, using the accelerator and brakes efficiently to smoothen out the speed of my car whilst not obstructing traffic flow (surprisingly very satisfying!)

Pee in the shower, yes. There was this campaign in South Africa some years ago, when they faced an acute water shortage, where people were encouraged to flush only when it was a number 2, and let it sit if it were a number 1. I do that from time to time.

Apart from that, sleeping with a fan, though the hotter months from March to May have been unbearable (but I still haven’t gotten airconditioning). 

The cliched 3 Rs of reusing, reducing and recycling. 
And public transport.
