If you don't personally benefit from pollution, then junk your ICE, never eat meat again, and stop buying plastic crap.
(You should do all those things anyway, but I'm making a point here)
"and yet you participate in society, hm, curious". You're doing the meme, my man. You're doing the entire meme that is also making a point.
You should move to a mixed use walkable neighbourhood.
You should learn more vegan recipes.
You should buy durable goods and learn how to maintain them.
Doing these things will make your life better in many ways. And you're going to have to do them anyway after the revolution comes and bans oil and habitat destruction.
And I don't want to hear the poverty argument. Rice, beans, pasta, bread, and potatoes are the cheapest foods. Not meat. Get your protein from legumes and your B12 from tablets, it's cheaper. I bought a sewing kit for 3 dollars and hair scissors for 7. Now I buy less clothes and no haircuts.
The lifestyle of fast cars, red meat, and cheap junk is convenient and fun, it's not responsible. Choose responsibility. Don't pay oil barons thousands of dollars for garbage you don't need.
if you cook all your food.
I'm too poor to eat out. If anyone richer than me is making the poverty argument for why they can't go vegan, they can kiss my ass.
that's your lifestyle though. some people are too time-poor to spend time at home on cooking
2 gas station hotdogs cost $1 and is a 500+ calorie meal.
I like it when vegans agree that the most damage they (and omnivore humans) can do to the planet is have children.
