    Your math is flawed:

    A plant based diet reduces the impact by -3/4, your solution by -1

    If i convince 4 others to do the same, or 8 to reduce it by half my impact is -3 not counting cascading effects.

    That is if you would follow trough with your suggestion which I have doubts. So not only is your solution not better, it is worse and you don’t act the way you propose.

      this is only true if you believe the myth that you’re responsible for your"carbon footprint" instead of the people who are actually making the emissions.

        Just because one is paying someone to create emissions does not make them responsible because someone else did it?

            ah, they use their private money to burn oil in their backyard. alright.

            the animal industry would just keep breeding and abusing animals despite no one buying their stuff. OK.

              you don’t seem to understand how linear time works. polluters pollute before anyone buys their product. whether anyone buys the product or not, the pollution has already happened.

                Ah, the “the damage is already done” argument. Has anyone told you that you pay for the next victim of the industry? Buying the product supports the industry and keeps it alive.

                Maybe you have no concept of future.

      What if I, like above, convince 4 others to do the same?

      (oh do we do that whole /s thing here?)

        How big is your suicide cult right now? I have been vegan for over 5 years and made a impact on many others while you talk smart on the internet. You just justify not taking responsibility with a stupid hyperbolic example you don’t follow trough. I can advocate going vegan because I follow trough. You, you are just pathetic.

          ahhh, I get it now. Here I can perhaps help this misunderstanding a little; not everything has to be a cult or cult like. Sometimes I like to make a little joke on the math provided but that does not mean I am inactive or not taking responsibility.
