Halving reliance on meat and dairy could cut land-use emissions ‘by 31%’
Halving reliance on meat and dairy could cut land-use emissions ‘by 31%’
Substituting half of animal products could “almost fully halt” the conversion of forests and natural land for agriculture.
Yeah and if we eliminate animal enterprises altogether it would be much better. Go vegan.
15Not gonna happen though. Halving is already extremely hard

How many vegans does it take to change a light bulb?
Two.
One to change the light bulb and one to tell everybody that they are vegan.
I support veganism but if you think climate change is going to be affected by your personal choices it is laughable.
0I am vegan but i use dairy product
-3I thought this kind of inflammatory behaviour would stay on reddit, guess I was wrong about that
You're only creating your own devide, live and let live and do not harass others online
Your not going to convert everyone to vеgаnism and trying to force that won't help you at all
People who choose to become vegan will go vegan and people who choose not to wont
People need to understand that we're all people of different backgrounds and a better (solarpunk) future has room for all of them

-21So tired of hearing these stupid arguments. I doubt you are any of those communities and when was the last time any serious vegans spent their time telling people living in poverty to stop subsistence hunting in the wilderness. But keep it up with your sad little cognitive dissonance protecting whataboutism and convenient moral relevatism.

Notice how the title is about land use emissions. That's about changes in how land is used, not overall ememissions.
Deforestation is done to clear land tongrow animal feed more than anything else. It's not just methane from the cattle.
32'Livestock’ emissions here include direct emissions from livestock only – they do not consider impacts of land use change for pasture or animal feed.

The amount of change we would all need to do is so immense I don’t think it’s fathomable.
Me choosing not to eat meat even if I stopped completely and went vegan would not do a damn thing.
I don’t believe the problem is a matter of personal choices, it’s a much larger scale.
You and all your friends becoming vegan doesn’t do shit. It’s laughable.
-19People engage in individual action as a means of demonstrating that collective action is possible. Nobody is expecting individual action on its own to suffice; it takes changing the rules of society so that everybody is doing the right thing.
