    Everyone here on Lemmy could drastically change their lifestyle and it wouldnt matter.

    Chevron et al. will still destroy the planet.

    We need systemic change.

      Systemic change will also require that people change their lifestyle, it just won’t be as voluntary

        Yes change the system first, and lifestyle change will follow.

        For example if we do something relatively small like ending beef subsidies here in the US, then ground beef will double or triple in price, and people will naturally consume much less.

        This would be much more effective than any campaign trying to convince people to eat less meat.
