Solution

The correct options for reducing carbon emissions for someone who eats a lot of meat are:

  1. Become vegetarian - do not eat any meat
  2. Eat less meat - start by eating plant based foods one day each week
  3. Substitute chick peas or beans for meat in meals
  4. Become vegan - avoid all animal products

The option "Don’t change anything - one person can’t make a difference" is not a correct option as individual actions can collectively make a significant impact on reducing carbon emissions.
