What simple changes should people do in their lives to make a positive impact on climate change?
I do believe the biggest impact would come from regulating large companies and billionaires, but it’s not one or the other.

Eat your nearest billionaire.
This is your only option. Managing your carbon footprint sounds like a great idea in concept, but the entire concept was created and promoted by oil companies to distract us from where the real damage comes from. Worrying about your own impact is noble but if you're doing it to save the world you're on the wrong track.
BP Oil telling people how to be more environmentally friendly has got to be the most hypocritical bullshit I've ever heard of.
Tacking onto this, I recall a Climate Town episode where he discussed which bank you decide to use matters. Oil companies' biggest donors are banks that get to loan out your money.
Calm down there actual cannibal Shia LaBeouf.
Ooh, ooh, I get their toes and lips!!
Just don't brag about it after; or else...
No, do brag about it. Be the change you want to see in the world.
Ok , go and brag about Your canabalising the wealthy... See how far that gets...
Way to take some responsibility for your own impact.
The average billionaire lifestyle of extravagance creates about as much pollution as a business of reasonable size. Their year exceeds a hundred average lifetime carbon footprints. Thousands of lifetimes if you include construction’s environmental impact.
Agreed. What people don't realize is that if they were to actually follow those recommendations, then oil companies wouldn't be responsible for as much pollution. We can say it's the corporations that are doing it, but it's all of us that are keeping these corporations in business and buying the products that pollute. If we all took personal responsibility, the corporations 'level of output would decline. This is ALL about personal responsibility and it is infuriating to watch people say "well it's the corporations" all the time.
