#2I know there will be comments saying that individual action is not enough to combat climate change, or that it's too late for that, but when governments are so slow to act and corporations will only change when their bottom line is at stake, it is left to individuals to take action. Going vegan is simply the right thing to do at this point.

I feel like this attitude is popular because it gives people an excuse to not change their lifestyle.

I'm sorry but no. Your diet is a personal choice and no amount of shaming is going to change that.
Do you travel internationally? Own a car? Do any other of a million things that have an impact on the climate but also constitute living your life?
It's great to put this information out there but telling people that your choices are "simply the right thing to do at this point" is incredibly condescending and will likely have the opposite impact you want it to have since no one likes to be preached at.

I have been actively trying to reduce my ecological footprint because I believe climate change is real. I don't feel it's a matter of "personal choice" at this point. The way we live has a profound impact on the planet, and we all need to try and reduce that impact in any way we can. I realize this is a message people don't want to hear, but I believe they need to hear it. Going vegan and flying less are two of the biggest changes an individual can make.

Destroy your health for virtue points trying to tackle the smallest contributor to global warming, sounds right to me /s

Unless you're suggesting forcing people by law to be vegan, then it most definitely is a personal choice.
> I realize this is a message people don't want to hear, but I believe they need to hear it.
It's precisely that attitude that ensures no one will ever listen to what you have to say.
