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.
Because I decided to care about my own happiness more than virtue signalling. When a politician says that they will impose a pigouvian tax on meat, I’ll vote for them. But I’m not gonna make myself miserable for literally no change in climate outcomes.
Eating planet based obviously != Virtue signalling unless you publically mention it, so there’s that issue solved for you.
But what a lazy and incurious way to live, “I will continue perpetuation moral atrocities while contributing to the destruction of the planet unless daddy government tells me to stop”.
Damn and they call vegans “pussies”.
