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

Oh, I hope that didn’t come across as a trap question, sorry if it did. I don’t know the exact right answer myself.

I guess my thoughts on the “too hard” statement comes from the feeling of fighting for every inch I can get against the hyper-sucessful businesses creating the gross system I’m forced to be in. People’s basic needs are not taken care of and mental health is in crisis. I find it hard to justify judging people based on anything other than how they handle directly interacting with something or someone. After all, I buy local as much as reasonably possible and have reduced the meat consuption for my family, but sometimes I’m just exhausted and get a burger because I’ve been craving one all week. Those in power need to enforce moral imperatives on others in power before I focus on individuals.

I am glad to read that last part. Not enough small changes are celebrated and encouragement goes so much further than criticism. Especially when it’s in such short supply.
