    Reducing your meat consumption is likely the most effective way of lowering your personal climate ‘footprint’.

    I hear this a lot, but I think the context of what other actions are available and their relative impact is important in this kind of discussion.

    Of course, this is all with the knowledge that trying to put the onus of fixing climate change on the individual is both doomed to fail and a great burden for many. Climate change can only be properly addressed by top-down action, which we should all advocate for.
