Getting people not to eat heavy-carbon-usage-meat at scale might be impactful... like found a lab meat company or something.
I just don't think being a vegetarian has impact... it's something you do to keep consistent with your worldview or morality, not to mitigate climate change.
- giantg2 5y agoHow can a "no impact" activity like not eating meat scale to be impactful? An individual's actions does have an impact, albeit a small one. It is measurable (CO2 savings from not eating that meat). Discouraging individuals from participating in individual efforts will prevent the group from achieving scale.
- andrewljohnson 5y agoI'm not discouraging an individual from eating meat... I'm encouraging an individual to not buy into the idea that not eating meat will achieve their stated goal.
- giantg2 5y agoIsn't the stated goal to reduce their contribution to climate change through eliminating meat related CO2 emissions? Seems like it works.
- AzzieElbab 5y agoDoesn’t sound measurable. The whole “don’t eat meat, save the environment” debate should be centred around corn fed beef to begin with
- giantg2 5y agoHow is it not measurable?
