It amazes me how people can wail about the record breaking heat on one hand and the effects of climate change, and sit in these comments and rationalize that eating meat isn’t contributing. Of course it is.
Going vegan was the best decision I ever made for myself.
I am sure @BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world would grant you the right to complain about the need for systemic change once you’ve taken personal responsibility.
It’s because everything about my existence in a modern first world society contributes to it. Humans obviously can’t maintain stasis, so maybe we as a whole are the problem. I am very proudly and staunchly childfree for that reason but I’m not going to go live in the forest in a tent to save the planet for a species that obviously doesn’t deserve it.
NOT A SINGLE PERSON asked you to live in the forest in a tent. Taking the bus, being vegan, buying second hand, and eating the rich are all things we can do, AND STILL LIVE A MODERN, COMFORTABLE LIVE.
I’m childfree, carfree, and vegan. Still manage to love live inside my non-tent in my non-forest city.
It’s almost like going vegan basically only requires shopping in different aisles at the grocery store, and you’re using a reductio ad absurdum fallacy to justify your shitty, easily-changed behavior.

It’s almost as bad as blaming the “individual” for climate change.

Promise me you’ll never get on a plane again in your life and I’ll promise to never eat meat again.
