Vegan

Sure, but what if we could fight billionaires in a ring?

I think he's right. We should all change to a 100% Billionaire diet...

I'm pretty sure excising the tumor that is the wealthy, the cause of most of our problems, comes first.

The !climate@slrpnk.net mods disliked that as they were never ever serious about tackling climate change 🤪

As related by famed biologist and renowned chemist Woody Harrelson PhD, millionaire esq.

NEVER Trust the rich when they tell you that your decisions are causing the problems.

The real problem is that the rich only give the poor so many options to choose from. Then they tell the poor to blame other poors for choosing wrong.

NEVER TRUST CELEBRITIES OR THEIR PROPAGANDA

Back in the 90s I calculated that the US could save the Amazon rainforest by cutting our meat consumption by 10% and legalizing hemp (not marijuana). I no longer have the math available but the gist of it was that a 10% decrease in beef cattle feed would cause a corresponding drop in demand for feed corn, and if that much cornfield land were converted to hemp (which would work agriculturally) and the hemp were used to make paper, demand to import pulp logs from SA would decrease enough to demotivate logging the rainforest - where most logs at the time were being harvested for pulp. As a side benefit, the paper would last a lot longer but wouldn't be more expensive.

Took me a lot of time and effort to do the research for that. Dunno if it's still valid in today's economy.

Has Woody Harrelson even gone vegan? Last I saw, he was promoting the astroturfed pseudo-regenerative cattle ranching stuff.

Anyway I can already hear the impending, "no ethical consumption under capitalism" nihilists on their way. To those who denigrate any lifestyle modifications as ways to try to make the world better: if individual change didn't matter, there wouldn't be a market for plant-based foods at all, and nor would there be Linux. If all you ever focus on is the bad stuff you wish would go away, then yeah all seems lost. But that's not the big picture. Good is created, and good grows. But for that to keep happening, it needs to be chosen and promoted.

Maybe try going on a bike ride while you're at it.

As compared to the number two way:

Not even close. Dealing with the excess personal ambitions of the wealthy would do far more.

AFAIK a low-emission diet is actually number two - transportation is still the number one individual source of climate related emissions.

That's also the one that skews the most toward richer people - rich people take the most flights, cruises and yachts which are the worst ways to travel for the environment.

No, the 'number one' way to help the planet is to not have children, undeniable fact. Diet is number two

Working from home is probably the next best thing.

Also, changes in diet does not necessarily mean changing what you eat. A huge amount on gains are to be had, just changing where where your food comes from. Local small producers are the gold standard. Combine that with growing some of your own vegtibles.

Multimillionaire tells you to not eat meat to reduce climate change

I MUST COMPLY RAAAAHH

I’ve become a bit of a flexitarian now. Don’t cook chicken beef or pork at home now. If I cook anything it’s fish. Whenever we go out if there’s something meat on the menu that sounds great I’ll get it but eating vegetarian hasn’t been that hard at all. Hemp seed yogurt eggs tofu nutritional yeast. Pretty easy. Hope I see some health pay offs.

Guys, can we focus on Rampart, please?

deposing the tech bros is the no 1 way to help our planet
