#eatlessbeef — Public Fediverse posts

Trees are beautiful, and powerful allies in the fight against climate change. They act as massive carbon "sponges". Yet we are destroying our tropical forests at an alarming rate.

We can do many things to help save our tropical forests:
(A) cut down our beef consumption, and (B) ensure we don’t eat products containing palm oil.

Please talk to others about this. My wife's blog gives more ideas on the subject.

@giamora As someone who has already ditched almost all beef consumption, I wonder what about a quantitative/ comparative designation. Quantify the impact of that serving and compare it to things easily understood, e.g. a gallon/ liter of gasoline.

Would a "climate label" encourage you to ditch beef for a lower carbon footprint food?

The cynic in me believes that shaming people's eating choices is an ineffective climate strategy. However, I do think marking climate-friendly foods -- like Panera Bread's "Cool Food Meals" designation -- might nudge folks in the right direction.
