A study shows Australians would rather take other actions to help the environment than give up meat.

Participants cite a lack of vegetarian options when dining out, despite Australia having more than ever, as a barrier to the diet.

Researchers hope the study will highlight reasons behind people's reluctance to reduce meat consumption.

Stop having children if you're that worried about it.

Yes, let's not make life sustainable for future generations, let's... not have future generations at all?? What kind of logic is that

God forbid I have 1 kid instead of 3. There is an in-between.

Solid. Solid logic.

Haha. That wasn't one of the options they gave. Nor was "Don't have a dog or cat"
