Badly. Last I heard on Sky News this morning, there have been a number of fatalities of the indigenous people. We are the craziest and most stupid animal on this earth.

Since our two countries have equally rotten to the core dickwads at the helm, Yethica is merely empathizing with the Brazilian people.

So tell us the truth, then.

Your logic doesn't make sense. If that was the case, every country would be seeing farmers deforesting. Even if we all went vegan, where do you grow enough food due to the increase of demand on vegetables? The farmers would stop deforesting for cows and would switch to deforesting for land to plow. The problem here is not the product but the mentality being exploiting said product.

Still doesn't hurt that we encourage each individual to do their part. It all adds up. And people can influence each other to join the effort. But I agree with your point we need some organizational forces beyond that.

It will take the society to change not just an individual. The fact that you demand perfection from anyone wanting to do the right thing is unreasonable and will stop the changes we need from happening

CP, and "the society" consists of many individuals. If a person truly cared about this theme, then the person would do what she/he can. And it's obvious that being vegan or at least being vegetarian helps a lot there. Per minute rainforest area big as 42 football fields are destroyed. Per year 158.000 square kilometer (calculated per minute). Mostly for the meat production. One person can do something.

You're obviously more invested in standing on your pulpit than actually doing something. There are ways to eat red meat that have absolutely no effect on what's happening in Brazil but you can't seem to get that through you thick self-righteous skull. Your way is not the only way.

I seldom agree with you, but this time I absolutely support your opinion. Every time we buy something, even the smallest object, we are voting for the kind of world we want. Stop buying unnecessary stuff: less clothes, less red meat, less fruit from the other side of the world, less electric appliances... We, the citizens in the developed countries, are creating this s**t every time we go to the supermarket or to the shopping centre. Lets stop consuming rubbish!

Mewton's Third paw is right on this. The demand for the product dictates the production of it, regardless of if we are talking about red meat, cocaine, or avocadoes. Information, education, discussion, and even regulation can all be helpful in bringing about change. Here is an interesting article on the subject: https://theconversation.com/is-a-vegetarian-diet-really-more-environmentally-friendly-than-eating-meat-71596

I knew none of you would be willing to do s**t. At least stop complaining over it then. For those of you that pretended to ask questions, the answers to all of those things are out there. There’s no point in sharing with you since you won’t accept it just like you couldn’t accept this.
