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

  Not quite the reply that you would hope for - but the general direction isn’t that wrong

    Its true that the economy of scale to reduce emissions is at the factories and such, but the point of the other things on a personal level are important; largely because they instill a culture of caring about the matter. For example, for better or worse, the marine corps puts a lot of emphasis on the proper wearing and display of the uniform, so the consequence is that it is taboo to not shave or have unshined shoes. If you are the only one in a party using a plastic straw or the only one rolling coal; you’ll be more than a sore thumb; you’ll be shunned at a deeper level and by the wider community not just environmentalists.

    No one is even saying no beef, but we are saying reduction in it. That statement is not only a false dichotomy, but preventing a real start to our movements.

      Your ‘movement’ is a sham created by the elites to shift focus from the greatest wasters, corporations and billionaires, by burdening the common person with austerity measures

      Same thing with the citizen recycling in the 90s, a vast and widespread misinformation campaign designed to shift attention away from the real sources of waste and pollution

      Congrats, you’ve been played and you are actively playing others.
