If you don’t have a car and rarely eat red meat, you are doing GREAT 🙌🙌 🙌

Sure, you can drink tap water instead of plastic water. You can switch to Tea. You can travel by train. You can use Linux instead of Windows AI’s crap. Those are great ideas. But, don’t drive yourself crazy. If you are only an ordinary citizen, remember that perfect is the enemy of good.

      Considering this is about food that humans eat it makes sense that they don’t include children on this chart.

      Unless you’re living in a candy house in the middle of the woods, then yeah, you have a point.

        Well the post tile says “other than not having a car and voting” which are also not about food.

        I get the linked article is about food, but OP worded the post in such a way that it’s just factually incorrect

        Oh ho, I see, I didn’t realize children aren’t human and they don’t eat. My bad.

      It’s horrible advice though if you wish your woldview to pass onto the next generations. Statistically, the people not caring so much about things like climate change are having kids.
