Eating meat is bad, but this won’t be solved by individual action. Putting a cost on every ton of beef, plastic, and carbon created would create market conditions that would reduce the production of these things and hence the consumption
There’s nothing wrong with individuals trying to be more conscientious about their eco footprint but unfortunately that has been turned by corporations who pollute vastly more into some kind of “only you can prevent climate change” messaging. We shouldn’t discourage anyone from doing better, but we also really need to turn up the pressure on the corporations.
What does holding corporations accountable look like if not refusing to give them our money while we advocate for regulation and bigger change?
But if you know it’s a problem then you can change right now instead of waiting for regulation to force it on you.
We can make change for the better in our own lifestyle while advocating for change.
