    I used to think like you. But then I released that you aren’t gong to successfully convince billions of people to fix climate change through personal choices and carbon footprint efficiency.

    Collective action to change government policy to make climate pollution uneconomical is how it changes.

    Maybe that policy makes meat a luxury commodity and you get what you want, but human will is too weak to assume that people will stop eating meat out of choice.

    The concept of our personal carbon footprint was one of BPs most successful ever marketing campaigns to avoid their accountability.

    People who fly in planes…

    People who drive cars…

    People who work for corporations…

    People who eat imported off-season fruits and vegetables…

    People who have children…

    There are thousands of personal choices everyone could make to make the world a better place, and none of them will be effective on their own. We’re all thoroughly fucked because the rich control the world and they think they will be able to ride out the collapse on their private islands and gated farms. Nothing you and I can do will stop the apocalypse, so stop being judgemental about choices other people make, and just enjoy the ride.

    This is a wrong opinion.

    Eating is what keeps humans alive.

    If you live and care about the environment, stop driving, reduce the consumption of industrialised products.

    I don’t give a shit about climate change, but rarely eat meat at all. How is that even possible?
