Yeah, i agree on all of those points; but i believe not everything should boil down to personal choice, we have governments to steer things.

Subventions for livestock should be on the chopping block - the emissions from livestock are about 1/3 of all of human-caused methane, so we should really discuss if dumping prices for meat is the way to go, and thats still ignoring the ethical angle of the meat industry.

And reducing the amount of car travel needed for daily things like work (WfH as an guaranteed option where possible for example) or groceries (including the fight against food deserts, in which zoning laws have quite an impact) is also something that can be worked towards and would help against climate change.

Nevertheless, the absolute waste of energy and resources, the excess the rich are living in has to go, or everything else is a moot point.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
