Being vegan is the most impactful change that individuals can make.
But we won’t change.
It is totally hopeless.
Systemic problems require systemic solutions. Hoping everyone collectively changes their behaviour isn't a solution unfortunately.
We have all the tools and technology to make a huge dent in this problem right now if not outright solve it. The most impactful thing you can do is spread awareness and do what you can to make this a voting issue if you live in a democracy. It could even be as simple is making it a non negotiable for how you choose to vote.
Lack of climate action needs to be a death sentence for the careers of the political class or it will become a death sentence for the the rest of us.
I'll do you one better: don't have kids!
Maybe Vote for candidates who won't FORCE people, and children, to have babies.
My trick is to not live in America
And if that's not enough, then at least there won't be any humans around to suffer through it!
But you're fighting against a fundamental urge of life here ... kinda hard to achieve that at a large scale. At least that's why I tell myself and my kid.
Yea, you're absolutely right. Humans are just animals in the end. Tho it is important to remember that your impact is absolutely microscopic, and even if 95% of people suddenly had the willingness, income and ability to make such changes to their life..
..there would still be a market for it, and we'd barely make a dent in the problem. Big corporations and billionaires are so much worse
No one want's to hear "Don't fuck in the front hole" after a hard day at work

I can recommend explanations on youtube. It's hosted by a clinical sexologist and covers topics around birth control and more
Yeah... after having a child we needed to double the size of our trashcan just because of diapers.
Dayum, and the smell of that must be horrid
Not really. We have one of those smell free diaper cans. They close after you put something in them.
Why did you have a kid?
What else were they going to use all those diapers for?
All my friends are doing it.
Lmao, wow. That's bleak. I hope you tell your kid this, they're going to be living through collapse and you forced them into this because of fucking FOMO and peer pressure.
Yo here's some fun links from the World Economic Forum and United Nations for you:
Global freshwater demand will exceed supply 40% by 2030 and 90% of global top soil and arable land is at risk of depletion by 2050.
I hope you're proud of yourself.
you're spreading eugenicist propaganda and you should stop.
It was a joke you ham-sandwich. I and my wife wanted a family. Now we do. And so far it’s going quite well so I will take my chances. :)
malthusianism is gross.
And the easiest. But even if all animal products were eliminated worldwide tomorrow, it would probably still not be enough for the emissions target. So individual changes do not make a dent in the problem.
What makes you think major nations will forego their cheapest source of energy if other nations are using it?
being vegan has no impact at all.
Are you joking? Industrial scale production of cow and pig meat are disastrous for the climate.
being vegan doesn't stop production.
"Hurr durr, me not killing people doesn't stop murderers from killing people, so I should just kill people"
where did you find that quote, and why do you think it's relevant?
regrettably, God made animals taste good.
