This video changed my mind in the opposite direction.

Stopping meat consumption would make a negligible difference in emissions. It's more valuable to focus on minimizing food waste instead.

Let's not focus on either/or. I feel that that causes division, and we waste valuable time.

At this point of the crisis we need as much help as possible.

We need to do both.

I've been biking and using public transport for long distances for the last two years... Though I did rent a car for a week half a year ago.

I've almost entirely stopped eating beef, but I still have room for improvement when it comes to chicken, fish, and pork.

I've been sorting my waste, and recycling plastic bottles, cardboard, and glass; though I admittedly should learn to compost.

The thing that has been the hardest for me is to stop consuming plastic altogether. That's almost impossible in grocery stores.

I think that grocery stores and restaurants should try to shift their supply chains to allow to refill standardized (glass?) containers, but I don't think this will happen unless there is some sort of regulation to pressure them into changing.

What are your thoughts on this?
