If you don’t have a car and rarely eat red meat, you are doing GREAT 🙌🙌 🙌
Sure, you can drink tap water instead of plastic water. You can switch to Tea. You can travel by train. You can use Linux instead of Windows AI’s crap. Those are great ideas. But, don’t drive yourself crazy. If you are only an ordinary citizen, remember that perfect is the enemy of good.
Flying is bigger issue than eating red meat long with tourism generally.
While reducing red meat is good… Targeting beef as solution is disingenuous at best. Likely a shill op
Generally people who shill it are also the worst offenders about flying and tourism.
You can eat all vegan all your life but once you fly or go on the cruise… It doesn’t matter.
I didn’t realize flying was destroying ocean ecosystems by overfishing and deforesting the Amazon.
All of this can be bad. All of it can be called out. You don’t have to cancel one with the other. You don’t have to call people who point at the meat problem “shills.”
