    Go ahead and refuse to participate. There’s nothing wrong with that. Just don’t expect it to have a significant climate impact.

      “I alone can’t change anything” is a hastily spoken excuse to shift responsibility onto others. But you are responsible for your life and your actions.

        Nothing I personally do will have an effect on climate change. If you want to argue for people to not eat meat, fine. But blaming them for the climate worsening because they eat meat is placing the blame on the wrong party and is not going to convince people. There are other and better arguments.

          I can blame more than one party, no problem! Politics must change, the economy must change, and society as well. Since you and me are part of the population, let’s please change too! Politics will follow suit if we are serious.

            Like how abortion is legal in the U.S. because the majority is in favor of it, right?

        When it comes to climate change, throwing things away is not a major issue, so that’s not really a good comparison.
