Well, one way in which we can help fight against climate change is by not eating meat or dairy products.
For anyone curious about the subject, there's some good science backing that up, though the links I'm providing are lazy DDG searches, so if anyone wants to do it, they can probably find better sources out there with more information.
The average cow can produce somewhere between 100-500 litres of methane a day, which is 23 times more powerful as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.
Alfalfa and other grass hays is a crop that used a crazy amount of water, and it's grown primarily to feed cows.
Going vegan, or at least mostly vegan, is the way to go. Can start with going vegetarian and at least swapping out meat sources. Alternative vegan protein sources
With that being said, I do not practice what I preach. I should, though.
Again though, I do all these things and it doesn’t matter cause my entire life’s output of CO2 is being put out by one guy in an hour. I’m turning off lights and corporate buildings are running all the lights and AC 24/7
If the majority of people did, it actually would make a massive difference. This whole "but billionaires" and "but corporations" is just being used as an excuse to do absolutely nothing by far too many people.
All of those people doing nothing are why we are in this mess.
The actual problem is democratic oligarchism/zionism/neocon warmongering/US colonialism. Protecting establishment is easily supported when higher priorities than human sustainability can be manufactured. The more miserable you are made, the less you care about "higher level Maslow hierarchy needs" at political level.
The best way to reduce all the excess manufacturing for livestock is by not buying it their products. If it's all about ROI for them, give them a reason to reduce their manufacturing with your purchasing power.
