      Milk has higher environmental impact than plant based milk ≠ milk is unsustainable.

      Milk is in fact a very nutritious aliment and many parts of the world depend on it as base for nutrition.

        sustainable means nothing if something that is killing the planet counts as sustainable

          Is milk killing the planet? That’s news to me.

          The fact that there are more sustainable alternatives to milk is not evidence that milk is unsustainable.

            it’s one of the things that’s killing the planet

            i wouldn’t call it sustainable if the end result is an unlivable planet, if nothing is done about the emissions

              You could argue vegetable milk is also contributing to killing the planet. Doing that is clearly pointless.

              Is the pollution produced by the production of milk significant, in such a way that reducing it would lead to measurable changes?

                well it’s killing the planet much less and we need some kind of nutrition to live

                Is the pollution produced by the production of milk significant, in such a way that reducing it would lead to measurable changes?

                is the pollution produced by private jets significant, in such a way that reducing it would lead to measurable changes?

                climate change is due to a combination of a lot of things. we need to tackle a lot of different problems. none of them is killing the planet on their own, but we need to look at the big picture

                  Work on improving the efficiency of the Haber-Bosch process used in the production of nitrogen just 1%.

                  That will probably have a stronger impact than removing all milk production and private jets from the planet.

                  There are places in which it is more efficient to optimize since that optimization will lead to a greater benefit.

                  Is reducing the production of milk potentially one of these important optimizations?

                    is this realistic? we can reduce dairy consumption right now

                    That will probably have a stronger impact than removing all milk production and private jets from the planet.

                    “will”, “probably”. we can reduce emissions right now by switching to plant based products, no need to wait for alternatives pop up when climate change is much worse

                    it’s a combination of things, reduction of consumption and working on reducing the emissions from production of dairy, since there’s some people that will struggle with switching to plant based alternatives due to intolerances, allergies and stuff

                    most people can reduce or stop consumption of animal based products and there’s no real excuse not to at least work on making some improvements
