    I’ll go vegan once the oil companies have stopped killing our planet just for their numbers to go up and pinning it all on us living too extravagantly.

    First fuck the rich, then change the rest.

      You don’t have to go vegan all the way to make a big positive impact for greenhouse gas emissions. If you manage to reduce the consumption of animal products this already helps a lot!

      You could also just eat the rich, that would help a lot more actually. Since people typically aren’t considered animals that’d even be vegan

        Only deniers of biology consider humans anything other than animals. This rather medieval idea is part of our issue.

        I think I can eat meat a couple times a week without it weighing on my conscience, look at the numbers. I won’t change the world if I fuck up my diet and hapiness.

        If the world changes and that would actually have an impact, then I’d do it despite the difficulty.

        Oh fuck off, I’m already doing whatever else I can for the environment, I can enjoy this while I can.

        The most important thing we can do is get out and protest, not whine to one another because someone eats some meat or uses a straw now and then.

          You dont want to be vegan and are using big polluters as an excuse. I dont blame you for not being vegan, but Im gonna call you out on your bs.

            they are the authority on their own motivations. you can’t tell them what their motivations are.

              You are right. I could have added ‘They way you are acting you are showing that…’ at the beginning, but I wont do that every time Im assuming something. It should be obvious Im not readingtheir mind.
