On the one hand, yes, true. On the other hand, businesses are doing this because of demand, so individual consumerism does matter. Land and water usage in the US is largely to support the raising of beef and dairy cows, and corn is terrible for soil and the environment. The Amazon rainforest is being razed for beef farms. These things wouldn’t happen without demand, so it is collectively on consumers to make some better choices.
Or, we could decide as a group that beef farming is destroying the planet and make it economically nonviable. Or make it illegal altogether.
I wish we lived in a world that could do things like that. People are gonna people, we live in a society, etc etc.
Maybe we do
This sums up very well how I went from “lmao I could never give up meat or dairy” to being a vegetarian and then vegan.
Companies do whatever gives them more money. As long as people keep buying animal products, they’re going to continue to destroy our forests, land, and oceans.
