I read a lot on a lot of subjects so no I don't have a resource for that. I think I saw it on discovery at one point and Anthony Robbins also wrote about it in his book.
Offcourse individual lifestyle changes matter in the large scope of things, you might never see a change but it does matter both for yourself and the world. If you change your lifestyle to help the world than you create a ripple affect, people will wonder why you changed and some might even follow you.
If everybody beliefs that the actions they take does not affect the world in any way than nothing would ever change.
I merely gave a suggestion of what I think is best (personal) so my question to you is;
What do you think has the most positive effect on the world?
What systems would you change and how?
