I think you’ve got it backwards. I’m an anti capitalist (at least partially) BECAUSE of the damage capitalism is doing to the environment. I don’t drive a car BECAUSE of the damage it does to the environment. I avoid planes and ordering stuff from China because of the impact etc etc. My agenda IS climate change. And I eat meat. I eat meat because animal agriculture won’t make enough difference to the climate, and because I like to eat meat.
Making those other changes is highly uncomfortable, every single day.
Thank god I’m not the only one. But then, I think there’s more of us than people want to admit.
My local farm gives crop waste and fallow hay to my local ranch, who feeds it to cows and gives the manure to my local farm. When there was an illness and cow population needed to be culled, they burned the crop waste instead. But consistently I’m told I don’t get to stay on the eco team because I eat meat and apparently burning corn is better than eating poor cute Bessie.
There’s a lot of environmental protection degree-holders in my area thanks to several local colleges. There’s also a lot of vegans. They’re different people.
