Help the environment... the big 5. do not consume Soy, Cacao, Coffee, Palm Oil, Beef

These have been shown now as things grown in monoculture
With land got from forrests, diversity killers
With pesticides, processing, distribution, huge demand

Stop these 5 things and it’s more than double quitting driving a car

Coffee and beef are essential for me, I can’t live without them.

I don’t accept that as an excuse to do it again

I think it’s more complicated than that.

Many lands maybe have those items as their main export. I do agree that we need to cut back and have moderation, but it would not fare well for the people in the countries that produce those items if they could not make a living. It shouldn’t be all or nothing, but something in between.

How is not consuming what is already made going to do anything? It just means that the stuff on the shelves is wasted. I seriously doubt any of these claims.

Do Americans even believe in climate change ? I don’t think they do.

You have power as consumer to determine what shall be produced. If everybody stopped buying palm oil and bought for example olive oil instead, the producers would have to make less of it.

You are right that what had already been produced would go to waste, but if nobody bought it they would stop making it. It’s the only way to give the producer a indication.

And I’m not sure, but I suppose the thing is that cultivating the items mentioned, for example palm oil trees has a bigger impact on the environment than for example cultivating other oils. I’m not quite sure what the mechanism is, but I’m pretty sure I have read that growing palm oil trees has a big carbon print and they cut down rain forrest to grow it.

Why we should do these while the army of every country is testing weapons even nuclear, etc Isn’t that what causes most pollution lmao

Pretty sure that dropping nuclear bombs in the desert or ocean does more damage to the environment.

Well then, what am I supposed to put in my omelet every morning instead?

I’ve bought the alternative sausage on the market and made a lasagna. Everyone loved it and was convinced the sausage I used was actual sausage.

I’m gonna have to make another one some time.
