In the end, the food you buy, clothes you wear, even the computer you're using right now, no matter animal based or not, is, as I said, almost certainly shipped to you by some sort of carbon-emitting vehicle, usually one, like a truck, that emits far more carbon than any car you might drive. The industrial processes involved to create these, everything in your life, emit carbon--certainly worse than that, your computer was built with rare earth minerals that were probably extracted with near or actual slave labor. Your existence, on this planet, as a human being, is harmful in some sense to the environment, there is no getting around the fact that you, as an embodied ego, has to cause some level of destruction to the life around you in order to continue living. And there is no getting around the fact that the industrial revolution has radically improved the quality of life around the world for the better, and that nobody, I assume yourself included, as you responded to me on an online forum, would ever abandon all the luxuries it brings. That doesn't mean that we can't improve things as they are. On the contrary, for instance, when you said:
>Plant-based is one of the best things an individual can do the lower his carbon footprint
That only applies to a developed economy. India has some of the worst pollution in the world on account of their backwards agricultural practices, and their population is something like 50% vegetarian, it is only on account of technology that we have been able to feed the large populations of the US and Europe without destroying local environments. When that technology is employed for the benefit of people who work together to improve their conditions, then society flourishes. But technology, scientific and social development are all developed collectively, and they are the only way to improve our environmental conditions--nobody alone, no individual responsibility, as I said, will change what the mass of society will do. If you let individuals alone to do what they like, on the sole condition they eat plant-based diets, I'm sure you will get something a lot closer to what they have in India than anything else.
