    How much of your carbon emissions are due to your quality of life and how much is due to inefficiencies/waste?

        Assuming you live in North America, travel is highly inefficient with personal cars and high airplane usage.

        Meat consumption on the other hand is a lifestyle choice. Personally, if be willing to reduce mine if we stopped subsidizing the industry and therefore stopped incentivizing such high consumption.

            I’m on a budget. I eat less meat than the average North American, but I still need protein and meat is a lot less expensive than many of the alternatives, partially because we subsidize the meat industry so much.
