As negotiations get underway at COP28, we compiled a list of the leading research documenting the connection between meat and greenhouse gas emissions.
Concur with all of that. I’m not vegan yet but took these easy first steps:
meat 1-2 times per week, instead of daily. The frequency is dropping from one year to the next.
refuse to pay full price for meat. Wait until the meat is about to expire and buy it after the grocer is forced to mark it down (30—50% off). This helps quite a bit because you dramatically cut down the profits that drive the meat industry (your portion of those profits). Since beef is the top problem, I insist on a near-expiry markdown of 50% before I will buy it.
Better than vegan: steal the meat. Vegans are just neutral. They neither contribute nor cause detriment to animal agriculture. If you shoplift the meat, you cost them money and make the business case even less sustainable than vegans.
Another option: hunt wild game and eat that in place of farmed meat.
