No one has to. Power Plants and Automobiles account for around 70% of emissions alone ( http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/emissions/images/ES7-7.gif ). Simply switch main power plants away from fossil fuels (solar, wind, geothermal, etc..), and drive more fuel efficient cars, and it would be cut in half already, with no lifestyle change (except driving a different car, but I dont really count that one).
