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!
Off the Table? >
off the table
We need to find ways to make organic food cheaper. Many people could benefit from going vegan or vegetarian but they can’t just because it’s too expensive to. Right now I think that going vegan has to be off the table because we can’t offer it to everybody but if we found a way to do it so everybody could afford it then it would work out.
The demand for organic food has gone up almost 5% since 1997 which makes sense. I agree that many people could benefit from having a more plant-based diet and the planet would also benefit, but there isn't as much cropland for organic foods. Many people like to eat fast foods which supports the meat industry quite heavily, meaning that things like meat are in higher demand than things like organic foods. The meat industry is horrible for our planet in more ways than one so everyone going for a more plant-based diet could change a lot and hopefully help our world.
