Cowspiracy and Forks over Knives
Both of these documentaries and a lot of research I did this past weekend proved again and again that the biggest impact you can make as an individual against climate change is to go vegan and not put in a demand for any animal agriculture. One hamburger takes 2500 gallons of water. Here are all the sources that cowspiracy uses. They are all legit so that's exciting.

And here are some articles about this documentary. This one also talks a lot about the health of humans and how eating meat and animal products leads to cancers of all kinds and many other health risk factors.

Integrated Permaculture
This documentary was awesome, we watched it at the WeSustain internship. Permaculture is regenerative whereas agriculture takes from the soil and kills the microsystems within it. Your ability to exist is predicated on the Earths ability to exist so if you undermine the Earth then you are undermining yourself. This is a step further than sustainability because we aren't just sustaining what is already there, we are giving back to the Earth and adding good things to it.
