*Promote because this is exactly the path I'm on right now.
I'll never be vegan, but reducing my meat intake and adopting a Mediterranean diet is part of me trying to eat and be healthier.

Eating more vegetables and less meat is undoubtedly good for you.

But if people want to make a real difference to climate change, there's one really simple thing they can do and it will make more difference than any amount of dietary or transport decisions:

Have one less kid (preferably one less than one).

As 1/2 of an intentionally childless couple, I'll take that as an unintentional compliment and say thanks, and I wholeheartedly agree.
What made me sad was, even in this day and age of overpopulation, I had to push to get myself fixed, being without kids, and from what I hear I got lucky because most doctors just won't do a vasectomy on a childless man under 40. (I was under 30).
I didn't do it just for the planet, I decided I didn't want to have kids when I still was one, but I'm still taking my "didn't screw the world farther with more people" credit.
