I’m not vegan, but I basically eliminated red meat from my diet, only drive long distances and walk whenever possible, used public transit for the vast majority of my life, haven’t flown on a plane in over a decade, I don’t fuck with almond milk or other “veggie” diet substitutes, and I’m extremely energy conscious. But for every small reduction you make, even if it’s a negligible QOL dip, the corpos are still pumping out millions of times more carbon than I’ll ever in my entire life. Reducing consumerism and encouraging others to buy less crap is the only way we can reduce carbon on a global scale.
