Meatless Mondays is a good start if you were raised on meat and don’t have a clue what veg’s eat. My partner and I are almost 90% vegetarian and we are both drastically healthier than what we were before.
I’ve gotten to 42% vegan, 42% lacto-vegetarian, and 14% omnivore, but I can and should do better.
But, I don’t think individual action is the “right” solve for this. I think we have to cap emissions by regulation. We could do cap and trade if will had really good measures for removal and capture, but we can’t depend on self-reporting for that.
The problem is that it’s incredibly difficult, if not effectively impossible, to actually get those regulations proposed and passed due to how much profit there is for the food corporations, who have bottomless pockets to lobby against those things passing. Collective action by reducing our own consumption is a way to overcome that issue, if done on a wide enough scale.
