In this Our Changing Climate video essay, I look at the validity of vegan and plant-based diets as a solution to climate change. I dive into the human and planetary toll of the meat industry, looking at the massive emissions toll of beef production as well as the exploitative conditions in meat processing plants. Ultimately, I consider whether veganism is an effective tool to dismantling the meat industry and mitigating climate change.

For somepeople surely.

But many people must eat meat.

If you can stop then stop. If anyone can’t then we will figure a solution.

Most can but won’t. This is the issue. Not the other way around.

A less divisive goal of reducing your consumption is a good first step to get mental uptake. People are not ready to be told to stop entirely. If we could set a goal to reduce our consumption by 50% that would an awesome start.

Cool, let them enjoy the megafires then. That's the dessert which comes with the main dish of meat.
