I appreciate your comment, but perhaps you missed the bullet points featuring the statistics about the amount of emissions that are produced via factory farming. This is less about each individual choice and more about a movement and spreading knowledge. It is basic math to say that each persons lifestyle change only makes a tiny percentage difference, but once it becomes a movement that percentage rises. I do think that it is important to try and target the direct source of pollution, but by saying the personal choices we make everyday mean nothing is insane as well. All we have are our personal choices. Hey Canada Guy!

Personal lifestyle changes can only have an impact of a few percent at most. We cannot ignore the other 95 percent of the problem. Some have suggested that we can forget about caps and just focus on behavioural changes, which is insane. <a href="http://selfdestructivebastards.blogspot.com/2009/10/voluntary-lifestyle-changes.html" rel="nofollow"> http://selfdestructivebastards.blogspot.com/2009/10/voluntary-lifestyle-changes.html</a> Going vegan is great, and lifestyle changes are good, but they can only slow emissions growth slightly, they will not reduce emissions.

Thanks for also including the last paragraph - I think it's important to offer people the intermediate steps too. This is a point that can’t be emphasized enough.
