I agree with your comment partially: we need to change how we live, but in some occasions a large part of us are forced to a choice.
My point is that if we desire change we need to work it through grassroots movements, volunteering and being vocal about it, even if it’s just a local thing.
Yes, we’re richer than most and we’re probably voting the wrong people, but don’t blame the cows for being in a pen.
We’re not going to change anything of this through grassroots movements. We need very big and very drastic changes at this stage. Like, look at a global co2 emissions chart. It goes up continuously, with a small sharp dip during covid. Remember what this did to our economies and how much it pissed off voters? However, this fall during that time would have to continue all the way to 2035 for us to actually meet our climate targets.
And your cows, pen or not, are contributing massively with their methane emissions. Cow & sheep produce are some of the worst climate killers.
This is one of the big problems. Even those who claim to be aware of the issue aren’t actually. So now the only ones who are, are shunned & seen as “doomers” and whatnot. And that’s ultimately why I’ve given up. People don’t want to change, which means to me they’ll have to suffer through all the consequences of it.
