Yes, and so many climate activists draw a false dichotomy between corporate responsibility and personal responsibility. They are by no means mutually exclusive.

People cheering for eating animals/essentially the exploitation of animals is wild. Also, you can say we should hold corporations/100 companies accountable for 71% of global emissions, but if you're taking the individual impact out of this equation, you're not really helping the problem. Consumers have a lot of impact on the choices of companies. The more meat you consume/buy, the more demand there will be. So that logic is completely flawed 🤔

Hannah Einbinder. The cure to insomnia

[@lazyperfectionist1]

🤷‍♂Well, sure. You keep reading and reading and reading about how _bad_ things are and how they keep getting worse, you're gonna deal with _depression._ How about, on the other hand, you start doing research into what the environmentally conscious of us can do to _help_ things, though? Consider an unlikely source. In 2005, a book called _The Undercover Economist_ was published. In it, the author, a man named Tim Harford, related _extensive_ information, including an anecdote in which he and his wife went to a symposium, and on their way inside, someone with a clipboard asked them how they traveled there. Tim asked why the man wanted to know. He explained that they were planning to offset the carbon footprint of all those at the symposium by planting the appropriate number of trees. So Tim said that they had traveled there by anthracite-powered steamer and then his wife elbowed him in the ribs. They had, in fact, gone to the symposium on their bikes. Bicycles are a very environmentally _friendly_ way to travel, while anthracite is about the most environmentally _unfriendly_ fuel source that humanity has ever _discovered._ So why had Tim said that they had traveled there by anthracite-powered steamer? Because being carbon-neutral _would_ be worthwhile if you could get _everyone_ on board with it. Until we manage that, the environmentally conscious are better advised to focus on being carbon _optimal._ Don't be content just to remove from the atmosphere an amount of carbon _equal_ to what you put into circulation. Strive to remove all the carbon from the atmosphere that you _can._

I'm not trying to invalidate the impact of going vegan; this is just the argument Hannah provided, that corporate reponsibility has a bigger impact overall than individual choices, and some people choose to focus their energy on the former instead of the latter.

@@clarabirch123 she didn’t mention the environment, Colbert did. She said she went vegan after watching What the Health which is a documentary that focuses mainly on the health benefits of a plant based diet. No doubt corporations need to be held responsible for the harm they cause to the environment. But without our boycotting corporations that kill animals corporations are going to continue to destroy the environment. I believe it’s something like 80% of land resources are being used for animal agriculture. Many crops are grown to feed the 70 billion animals raised for livestock. That is also where a large amount of fresh water is going to, rainfall that livestock. Plus climate change is being effected by all of the methane in the air. But if we go back to what veganism is it’s not environmental or for health. Veganism is anti animal exploitation because we recognize animals as sentient beings that have the ability to experience pain and suffering. We believe animals are here with us, not for us.
