Yes, yes! The only time on Twitter I mention I'm vegan is to point out that focusing on personal behavior obscures and distorts this simple fact: *collective action* (not individual choices) is what's necessary to tackle climate change on the scale that's needed.

Emily Cunningham @emahleeReplying to @emahlee @keya_chatterjee @leafwaxWhere we're going to get the most leverage and be most effective is through collective action. It doesn't mean we can't also make individual choices that benefit climate. (I'm vegan for instance.) It's about where power is located.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes

See this exchange on effective carbon strategies btw @drvox and Hal Harvey, an energy policy expert as they discuss lifestyle behavioral changes vs policy. Policy is where the lever is. Good policy is possible through collective action (ex #GreenNewDeal) https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2018/11/16/18096352/climate-change-clean-energy-policies-guide … pic.twitter.com/nt5qHi0wXo
