I can find the calculations again but even if you would drive 250km a day it would still have a 4x bigger CO2e impact to eat 200gr(typical serving size per meal) less meat per day than to switch to public transit. So if you’re not plant based, being anal about what car you drive is just ignoring the ~~elephant~~ farm animal in the room.

Okay but eating less meat doesn’t reduce micro plastics from tire dust if I still drive a car.
