Once again you've created a whole site with various "solutions" to the climate crisis, and I can find ZERO mention of the issue that UN scientists say is causing more greenhouse gas emissions than all human transportation - livestock.
While not everyone can afford to buy a hybrid or carry out a large-scale retrofitting of their home to be more energy efficient, every single person on earth can make a dramatic difference in their own carbon footprint by cutting out their consumption of animal products. Yet just as with your previous iterations this option is either buried to the point of inaccessibility or is, in fact, nonexistent in your materials. It's certainly not here in your promo email, or on the front page of wecansolveit.org, or on the "Solutions" page, or on the "personal choices" page, or anywhere I could find on the site.
The failure to even mention, much less aggressively promote, this option, leaving the vast majority of your readership in the dark about how important it is, shows that protecting the status quo (or your own taste buds?) is more important to you than effecting true change to save the planet.
If I am wrong, please feel free to let me know how you're going about getting this message across, commensurate with the global warming impact that the world's top scientists say it has.
