If I cut my meat by 75% can I keep my dairy at only a 25% cut? I need cheese more than meat.

You can do anything you want, and any non-zero improvement is still an improvement. It's far better if everyone dropped their meat consumption by a third than a small number of people completely dropped it.

The perfect shouldn't be the enemy of the good.
