I wish more people would get it in their heads that you don't need to give up meat and go completely vegan to have an impact. Even if everyone just cut their red meat intake in half, it would go such a long way towards fixing the environment. But too many people see it as an all-or-nothing situation.
Ultimately with humans it's really time consuming to enact behavioural change. The rate of human behaviour change is slower than the rate of destruction of the planet (also individual human change is going to do diddly squat when McDonald's keeps McDonald'sing and the Kardashians keep travelling in their private jets)
