      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.

      '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.

      People 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.
