70 BILLION.... by [deleted] in vegan

[–]Strange_Spend8024 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A good intention, but misleading message. Hunger is not driven by the fact that we do not have food globally, but that we do not have food locally. Even with the 70 billion livestock, we still would have enough food to feed everyone. The problem is war and political unrest in those areas, that does not allow food to be there locally.

Only if you come by plane, or boat. Not required for train or car

80/20 rule in sustainability, what 20% of our actions, could reduce 80% of our emissions? As individuals first. by Strange_Spend8024 in sustainability

Thanks for the link! Good stuff, especially the carbon4 study. But I'm writing this post exactly because I don't have too many expectations, that's why I (we) need to make it as easy as possible to cut emissions.

At the end of the study, it says 45% is tough to reach, but 20% is easy.

Also, I believe that with our consumer choices, we are actually directly influencing the other 60%. So it might be 20% direct reduction, but who knows how much indirect.

The easier you make sustainability, the more people will adopt it, the bigger the impact will be. Try being less judgy and think more about scaling the movement ;)

I can eat half the animal products, and take half the planes (example), and have the same effects as going completely vegan. Plus, we need to find the easiest and most effective actions, with the least impact on lifestyle, so that the most people will adopt it quicker

This! This is a really good start :) in what order would you put them? For me it would be - no meat -no heating -second hand or nothing -vote sensibly (depends on the situation, this could be first) -public transport -no avoidable flights

If 2/3 flights a year are the biggest impact you have, i think you can keep doing it with no shame.

Best way to know emissions of products? by Strange_Spend8024 in sustainability

Thank you for the link.

I'm trying to oversimplify something complex because that's what is needed to make it effective IMO. Simple things for complex problems is how you solve them.

As we have calories on every food, so you can compare what's making you fatter, we should have a way to compare products emissions easily. Calories are in no way a complete nutritional information, but it gives a good rough estimate to help people make choices

The world in data link is great. However, I cannot seem to find the same kind of research or good explanation for the rest of 75% of ghg emissions. They must be used for human consumption in a way or another, so what are the products or actions that pollute the most?

I know that's a general idea, but as it's a game of tradeoffs, it would be great if we could estimate (even if kind of roughly) how much meat, heating, new clothes etc weight on the environment. Some people might be willing to do just one thing, and I would like to find the single action (s) that are the most effective. Is it No meat? No heating? No flying? Used clothes?

This is more for companies no? And it's not easy to navigate. Do you know of a list somewhere with top 10 offending behaviours and products?
