BlackRoseEating meat creates four times more greenhouse gases than being vegan, landmark study finds
Move to lemm.eeIn this thread: Shit loads of people who will say they care about the climate crisis on one day, then say they don’t care about the 18.5% of carbon emissions that the meat industry causes the next day.
Individual habits MUST be changed to solve this part of the problem. Getting triggered and writing screeds because you’ve spent decades getting caught up in jokes about vegans won’t stop the planet burning.

I think if we do away with certain practices in the meat industry (ie. Feedlots), we’ll see those numbers go down.
Maybe if we can go back to hunting as our primary method of getting meat, that would also help.
Sadly, less intense meat production only uses more resources, as more land is needed. The longer an animal lives, the more resources it uses.
6 billion hunters would be a sight to behold!
Only if you factor in a constant demand which is not realistic. If supply goes down and meat becomes expensive, nobody can afford thier weekly meat anymore except for the rich.
