George is absolutely correct about subsidies and grazing animals in particular! I bought back three acres of farmland here in Ireland and planted over 1100 trees. It has meant financial impoverishment for me but an enriched life.
Hell yes. Finances first. Remove subsidies and add a meat tax and meat will become largely inaccessible. Shame also works, very few people smoke in California in comparison to North Carolina. That's largely due to organized social shaming by isolating smokers out of the building and away from the door.
@@christinash2235 Shame rarely completely works these days. Although, sometimes asking what they want to do better in life is the best. Giving them an aspiration of a better life to work towards. Sometimes that is more helpful to get smokers to quit.
@@christinash2235 Hi! That's a really interesting point. Do you remember where you read that? Can you remember the source? I'd be really grateful. I'm not being critical, I'd like to use this argument as well and be prepared if someone asks for a source.
@Ian Smith pretty sure that won't happen. Since there are higher taxes on alcohol, cigarettes, and in some places on sodas, we have reason to believe it makes people less likely to purchase things that are unnecessary. Cigarettes have become so expensive only insane people smoke them these days.
Definitely agree, picking up plastic on the beach here in Bali is futile! It’s not going to fix the problem one bit! It’s like using duct tape to fix the suspension on your vehicle 🚗! We need global laws to reduce plastic waste in the ocean and tax the hell out of meat. Meat should be the most expensive delicacy on the planet. No subsidies for livestock and oil! Outlaw single use plastics completely on a global scale. If I were king 🤴😆
Thanks for emphasising the importance of subsidies. I saw an EU milk ad and was furious about the way my tax payer money was misused. While I listened I realised for the first time that we need system change by imagining that everyone decided to go vegan overnight. Oh the food shortages and mountains of rotting meat and dairy products. So system change it is! A great Q & A!
“bUt ThE cLimAtE Is alwAyS cHanGiNg” Let me pose this question to you, “what if we made the world a better place for nothing”? Bless up my friends and eat plants! 😄💪🏼🙏🏼🥦🍎
It's true that we need to have systematic changes. And as George rightly mentioned, we need to remove subsidies for animal agriculture. But currently this is not being discussed at all in climate strikes. The solution had to be too folds, both systematic changes and individual consumption changes. Public advocacy and education on a vegan lifestyle will help drive the change of individual demand, which then also drive the particular solutions of systematic changes. Not to mention that as more and more people go vegan, the people in power will also have to be aligned with vegans to remove animal agriculture subsidies and introduce incentives for farmers to transition into plant based agriculture. The problem we have currently is that the very people who are demanding systematic changes do not mention the need to remove animal agriculture subsidies.
I disagree, consumers have more power than he gives us credit for. Just look at the dairy industry. The dairy industry is on its deathbed despite all the government subsidies and support.
@Chandi Patah honestly, I'm not defending him, I only recently heard of this guy. My research revealed he was vegan a long time ago, and changed his stance in 2010. A few other things happened and then 2016 he decided to be 97% vegan. I don't know what he calls himself now. Whatever the case, nobody can call themselves an environmentalist and at the same time support animal agriculture.
I think when he says consumer change doesn't have much power he is referring to just the action of boycotting. The dairy industry has been brought down because of public advocacy (which he states is a good thing) which has then lead to boycotting, but boycotting alone does not necessarily spread the idea, it's the advocacy. Also, I really don't think it helps the image of the vegan movement to end a critique of someone's points by questioning if they're "really" vegan as a way to undermine their opinions on the subject. We want a vegan world, not a vegan club.
Well obviously. It's hilariously stupid when people say you can't change things because it comes down to individuals... The population is made of individual... We're not fucking ants or bees that have a hive mind mentality for fucks sake... Punish those who damage the environment or subsidize those who save it as opposed to those who destroy it. Good actions should be promoted... It's very simple... It just doesn't make money so rich people don't care except if they'd have half a brain cell they'd realize it saves money, the environment and animals including us.
Individual changes haven't been working for over a decade. The constant insistence that it's on the individual comes directly from the biggest polluters on the planet. Most people aren't causing anywhere near the majority of pollution of any kind. And most people, especially the poorest of our societies, cannot easily change their lives to be more ecological. They're too busy making ends meet. Governments need to take responsibility for buffering up the current economic system of unending growth and constant consumption. We have to hit the problem at its core and that is the half dozen fossil fuel companies responsible for doing most of the damage to the atmosphere.
Good to hear George on this excellent channel. Good to hear him speak to animal ethics✔️ and planet E-air-th ecology ✔️. BUT, where are the activists and vegan journalists talking about our human *biology* not designed to eat raw meat like carnivores? Where are the activists and journalists speaking to the dearth of *nutritional* aspects of the unhealthy lifestyle diseases caused by animal agriculture? Where are those who would champion a new *economy* of small farmers and farm markets, producing locally grown crops easily managed within local communities? Lots to do, andsoitgoes...
@Pieter Jan Zijlstra yes, unfortunately animals and animal manure is used on many organic and regenerative farms, so it's definitely not vegan yet. However, it's certainly less destructive than non-organic farming practices and causes much less harm overall, by an order of magnitude. It's frustrating because we know crops can be grow perfectly well without the need for manure or chemical based fertilzers.
George, the vast majority of ag subs are effectively paid to LAND OWNERS, not always farmers. The EU is bonkers, the top 1% get 80% of the money. Madness.

Thank you thank you THANK YOU for talking about subsidized animal AG! Even in America all the crap gets subsidized and no emphasis on proper nutrition.

Population growth is the biggest driver of climate change. If every person respected the environment they wouldn't drop plastic . Africans , South Americans , and Asians living in poverty with no regard for birth control are now slaves in the cities to large western corporations so that rich people can buy cheap goods and services. Consumerism has helped create problems. The poor people of Bali might say "I want what they have, " I want to live like they do. We have enough global laws already. Perhaps you can go for a holiday in Namibia, live with the Kalahari bushmen for a while and tell them that eating meat and having lots of babies when food is plentiful is harming the environment.
This world is not our home. Follow Jesus Christ and keep his commandments.🙏🏻. We are seeing signs of his soon return in glory. The righteous will be saved through him.

Mc el of course! There is nothing I do that purposely harms anyone or anything.

Amazingly, this prophesy is fulfilling. There is a global call to adopt Ladato Si, which includes a global Sunday Law. God’s Sabbath is the 7th day. All will need to choose whose side they are on just as in the days of Elijah. Will we follow God at all costs, or will we succumb to persecution and follow man?

People without the capability to see the bullshit that is religion/believing is the main problem. Carnism is a belief system, eternal economic growth is a belief system. Belief based on false premises. And these beliefs are all tied together.

@@dougveganparadisebuilder5808 according to the books of Enoch, which are possibly the original source from which books like Genesis and Deuteronomy were based, man was meant to be vegetarian and demons taught humans to eat and "harass" animals, wear cosmetics, con/sell things and of course go to war. Enoch was great grandfather of famous vegetarian Noah with his ark. Adam and Eve are still vegan in the current version of scripture. Christians are wrong about their own religion (except for Adventists).
@Chandi Patah Nice to see someone else who gets it. Carnism is based on the assumption of superiority and the repression of empathy and logic. Christianity is actually the religion of Carnism.
I had high hopes for Andrew Yang when I heard about his idea of introducing UBI but as his campaign has gone on he's looking more and more like a right wing libertarian.

But, saying that, whilst it's been shown to work in small areas where a select few are given a basic income, I think if you were to apply it to a whole country or society, inflation would almost definitely come into play, since the base level of wealth suddenly goes up. My other issue with it is that, giving people a set free income to spend, would indirectly lock them in as consumers, spending more on general stuff, alot of it being junk, ultimately just propping up and boosting a system which has gotten us into the mess and environmental crisis we're in now. Not saying it wouldn't work but I don't think it's the silver bullet that Yang sells it as
