    Also reduce our imagined entitlement to most consumer goods. Not all CO2 emissions is from transport. Also, stop throwing food out. Half of all produce that leaves the farm is thrown out. Stop overfilling your plates and cope with some spots on your fruit. Agricultural CO2 emissions can be halved within a growing season.

    oh, and get rid of the elites that all profit from wasteful over consumption. These aren’t either/or solutions.

      Not all CO2 emissions is from transport.

      Heating homes is a big one.

      Making plastics, rubber.

      And energy production in general.

      Meat.

        Meat

        100% agree.

        Lemmy and Reddit are on the same page regarding this. Everyone talks about big game about everyone else reducing their impact but as soon as you mention meat, they turn on you because that’s something they could eliminate themselves but won’t.
