Off the Table?

Are there aspects of your daily life that you know contribute to your carbon footprint but you are unwilling to compromise to change them? In other words, what about your life is “off the table” when it comes to carbon emissions? It's OK to admit it- we all have these cherished behaviors!

I believe that one of the main issue with global warming is the agriculture industry, which according to a Goodland and Anhang study says that agriculture puts out 51% of global green house gases! This huge, and I believe that this is because people are too lazy and stubborn to go without meat. For many people beef, among other heavy red meats (which contribute the most to climate change), is something that is off the table for them, but this needs to change.  If everyone stopped, or heavily reduced eating beef would significantly help many ecosystems and the environment. Beef produces five to six times as much green house gases as other meats and uses up much more land, being one of the main causes of deforestation of the Amazon rain forest. Also other meats tend to be much healthier for the human body, so what is not to like? What do you guys think, is it time for the world to change what is off the table?
