Project on Government Oversight senior fellow and former U.S. Office of Government Ethics Director Walter Shaub cares very deeply about the climate crisis
If you wonโt stop eating meat, you should probably stop talking about what the nation isnโt doing to address climate change.

Got that, everybody?
THANK YOU. This is one of my biggest pet peeves ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ

You know your take is brilliant when Asha Rangappa agrees with it.
I get that individual choice has been falsely sold as the cure for a long time. But 2 things can be true. We need structural change AND making a decision not to indulge in this destructive practice is the biggest difference you could make without fundamentally changing your life.

How much oxygen does Walter Shaub suck up and how much carbon dioxide does he produce by getting worked up about people who like to eat meat sometimes? We guarantee heโs not doing the climate any favors, either.
Some bird-site users are Big Mad about this thread, so let me concede that I did not mean this literally. OF COURSE you should continue to advocate for climate change. My point was that we can do more and that individual responsibility is a thing that exists. But you knew that.
โ Walter Shaub (@waltshaub) October 12, 2021
Yes. We did know that, Walter. Individual responsibility is indeed a thing that exists, and you might want to try it sometime. You can start by minding your own damn business.
โHaha everyone is making fun of me, they must be Big Mad at my wonderful opinions, those silly bird users.โ

Most normal humans don't wanna eat plants for the rest of their existence. Crazy, I know.

Something tells us a lot of people are.
Dude eats his emotions and lives on Twitter 24/7. Iโll seek advice elsewhere.
