Someone concerned about the environment can consider both plant-based food and more local, seasonal foods. There's no need for the two approaches to be considered at odds. But if you care to, you can check out a ranked order of top solutions to climate change. We need to work all items on the list, not just the top ones, but you'll find "Plant-Rich Diet" as #4 on the list: https://www.drawdown.org/solutions-summary-by-rank https://www.drawdown.org/solutions-summary-by-rank Improving transportation doesn't even show up until #25 on the list.
