    Wouldn’t just a reduction in meat consumption be enough? Though looking at how much the average is that will probably need to be a very significant reduction frI’m some people.

    Solar farms go well with grazing animals, recently heard it can actually increase the grass yields when you add solar panels, think it helps protect it a bit from strong wind and too much sun that can dry out the soil more and stunt growth.

    Also any time you hear people complain about “prime farmland” (that is so shit they only ever use it for grazing) being used for solar “instead of food production” be aware it’s very likely bullshit anti-solar propaganda. It’s very common here in the UK.

      My family realized that most meals we have meat was just kind of an unnecessary element? Cut out meat and it was still delicious.

      Our meat consumption dropped to ground turkey once a month and beef maybe once every 6 months when our to eat? i really feel like limiting is the way to go for most people, but too many suggest all or nothing.

      I say why not, imagine 1 billion people eating 0 meat or 8 billion people reducing their intake. Net result is probably the same, but the problem is that there are some people that will use this reduction excuse to not actually do much about their diet. Then there are the people like you mentioned that eat meat 3 times a day and then there are the people that surround their own identity around meat eating.

      I’m not a dogmatic and tell people irl that each individual should do as much as they can, but even with that low bar most people don’t do shit.

        We usually don’t have that much, this week between 2 of us we bought 6 of the finest sausages Aldi provide and they went into a sausage and bean casserole that lasted for 3 meals each. Other meals didn’t have meat in them.

        Would like to try finding a butchers but there aren’t really any near where we live other than a guy selling meat out of a van a few days a week.
