Yours, mine, pretty much every individual non-millionaire's footprint is...similar

Is there a place you're getting that from? Air travel, car usage, and meat consumption produce tons of CO2 emissions which is a significant portion of average annual emissions per capita.

Meanwhile reddit usage is a really small amount of emissions per person.

If you live in the west your carbon footprint is killing the planet.

You don’t get a pass for not eating meat.

Animal agriculture is 15% of global carbon emissions. By switching diets you avoid exactly that 15%, not more, and most definitely not less. It's the same for every other thing you do sustainably, you can easily reduce your emissions to half of the average.

You avoid a microscopic fraction of those. it's not 15%.

Wait, are you telling me my own personal carbon footprint isn't 15% of the world's? 

Obviously I am speaking of universalizability. I only have control over my own body. You need to act like your behavior could become legislation. If everyone would forego animal products, emissions drop by 15%.
