Simply being selective with meat can go a long way as well. Cattle grazing on regenerative farms is in a completely different category from generic CAFO beef from the grocery store (at least if you’re in the US). The main issue is finding it locally.
And yes it’s more expensive, but also more nutritionally dense so you end up using less anyway. Plus it actually tastes like beef. We should be paying more for meat IMO, considering the resources going into its production.
I feel like meat only on weekends would be a pretty great compromise for the near term.
If enough people did that, meat would stop being the default with every meal and it’d end up easier to go farther.
And I think people are more likely to stick with a dramatic reduction than to go all the way.

Grass fed cattle uses way more land and resources and produce more emissions than the efficient hell on earth we call “intensive life stock farming”.
