The federal government is proposing financial incentives for farmers in lieu of cutting enteric methane emissions that are released in the air when cows burp.

    While it is voluntary we must not rely on it to solve our problems. What aboutism does not help.

      This isn’t whataboutism. Whayaboutism is talking about some other problem… Going vegan is a solution to the problem at hand. The easiest solution

          Yes… For 8 years successfully. My balls didn’t fall, my health is great, and so is my social life. Nothing changed.

        Having everyone not be vegan is a “problem” So is Emission from high meat usage/husbandry of cows, sheep and goats. I don’t know a better word than whataboutism to describe that.

      It will solve a large number of problems with minimal effort put on individuals.

      The key here is that it doesn’t rely on industry or government to make a difference, and it puts the power back in our hands. 💪
