Reminder that eating less meat is the single largest thing an individual can do to combat climate change, on a personal level.

Reminder that over 70% of greenhouse emissions are from about 100 companies. https://www.activesustainability.com/climate-change/100-comp...

A couple notes about that release:

* It focuses on "industrial emissions", which in their analysis doesn't seem to include agriculture

* It's largely indirect emissions, e.g. if someone uses gas in their car from a gas station which was refined from crude oil purchased from Saudi Aramco.

This is a cop out that capitalism LOVES. It relinquishes the individual of any blame and encourages more consumption.

We need to consume less and vote for climate policy. This begins with the individual.

Those companies only get away with it because of our complacency. Your logic encourages that complacency and corporations LOVE that. They're happy to take the blame because they know people will still buy their product.

It starts with the individual. Nothing changes until the individual cares enough.

There are always excuses and others to blame while we destroy the livable environment.
