Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat

  Well the post tile says “other than not having a car and voting” which are also not about food.

  I get the linked article is about food, but OP worded the post in such a way that it’s just factually incorrect

  The title mentions not owning a car and voting, that’s not in the chart either.

  You can drive 12 hummers powered by crude oil and eat steak every day at not have even a fraction of the impact of just one child. Having one less child results in a ecological-footprint reduction equivalent to 58.6 tonnes of CO2 a year. By contrast, living car-free saves 2.4 tonnes a year, eating a plant-based diet saves 0.82 tonnes a year.

  Not reproducing is the single most impactful thing you can do for the environment by a huge margin.

    Can you compare that with large container ships, commercial and private planes, coal plants…?

      Do you own a large container ship, coal plant or private plane?

  Oh ho, I see, I didn’t realize children aren’t human and they don’t eat. My bad.
