I agree with Hannah that reform of food systems is a fundamental lens through which to see this. (Our global framework for planetary action on population, economic reform, nature, food systems, energy and pollutants also discusses this - you can co-sign it at www.scientistswarningeurope.org.uk/film 12:49:58 From John : Go vegan! 12:50:12 From Taylor : yes 12:50:28 From Joan : Taylor - But I just learned about how great Italy is. 🙁 12:51:08 From Adam : Ride bicycles for transportation 12:51:31 From Phoebe : On diet: see https://ourworldindata.org/land-use-diets and https://ourworldindata.org/carbon-opportunity-costs-food 12:51:41 From Phoebe : Overshoot Day 12:52:13 From Dane : Consumption will not be meaningfully changed voluntarily.
