I have not power over 10%, like you said. But have the power over me, and my choices and for what I want to be responsible. 10% is just 800.000 single persons making a choice and not hiding from responsibility.
It is not going away and will only be more urgent and more visible. You don't have to do it alone if you want to have more impact. Join groups and organizations, go out and protest. If you want change it does not have to stop at your plate. Go out and talk to people about why you are vegan, be the change you want to see.
.000
you dropped this
See, even more single persons, do you think it is a single hive? those are all individuals you claim don't change anything.
I guarantee there aren't 800 million vegans
it doesnt even need to start on your plate. your plate neednt be involved at all, i think.
It is the single change everyone can make with the biggest impact. But don't worry, a) you are old enough that you don't matter b) you will see the future vegan because we would have to grind everything else to 0 if we want to support the animal industry, it alone will increase temperature by 2°C and from 3°C and upwards there is no more animal industry possible due to harvest loss and increased energy demand. Just chill and think you have done more than every vegan because you are not driving a car, well done, you are the one with no car.
I don't believe it makes any difference at all, and it definitely doesn't have the biggest impact anyone can make.

that fluff piece is misrepresenting the contents of the study
I am sure you did your own research on the shitter. Much smart, such proof, many scientific.
you think i haven't seen the poore nemecek paper?
I think you are just a egoistical self centered science denier who has troubles with very simple concepts.
i think you don't understand science if you think the poore nemecek paper supports the fluff piece you referenced.
Please, go on, rebut the IPCC https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aba7357
I am sure I will see it in the news, backyard science that changes how we see the world are always hyped.
this, also, does not support the fluff piece you linked.
you don't know how old I am
what makes you think you know anything about my cars?
