Why not go to zero? It's a bit like saying: "Reducing the amount of fossil fuel is a good idea, but why go to zero?"

- _ph_ 6y agoThere is no fundamental need to get energy from fossil fuels specifically, we just have to work at getting replacements for all scenarios. Nutrition is an entirely different thing. First of all, it is a very fundamental cultural and personal thing. Meat and dairy products have an important nutritional value, which isn't easily replaced, especially not by local foods in many regions. And except for the fossil fuels used in farming (both for meat and plant production), it is carbon-neutral. The problem with it are rather matters of scale and over consumption, so yes, the idea to just reduce meat consumption sounds like a very good idea overall.
- sesuximo 6y agoYeah I don’t think zero is a good goal. Fossil fuels don’t harm the environment at every scale.
