    Problem with BP is, that the whole world runs on their product. It needs time, negotiations, laws, education and probably riots and sabotage to bring these large scale destroyers down. And they fight back because they earn a trillion dollars each year. Yeah you can ride a bike, please do, but this is not something you can take on by yourself.
    Your food, on the other hand, is super personal. As I said, everyone could change their diet tomorrow. It’s your choice, no politics involved. None will fight back, they can just show you more ads. If we’d eat only plants we’d solve 25% of the climate crisis over night. We’d stop murdering billions of sentient beings and we’d get healthier. Yet, if I bring this up, everyone starts arguing.
    And even of we changed to renewables, all co2 emission from our food alone would shoot us way past 1,5°C warming because we need to stop eating animals anyway.
    So, I jumped, many people jumped before me, even more after me. It’s a commitment to change, it takes responsibility, it’s healthy and fun and a big fuck you to animal agriculture, which is another large scale destroyer. It’s the most radical thing most people can do in their lifes, and it tastes good. You should give it a try. :)
