• A study shows Australians would rather take other actions to help the environment than give up meat.

  • Participants cite a lack of vegetarian options when dining out, despite Australia having more than ever, as a barrier to the diet.

  • Researchers hope the study will highlight reasons behind people’s reluctance to reduce meat consumption.

    The willingness seems pretty low on everything but “renewable sources” and recycling which requires the least effort from people.

    There being some willingness to reduce meat is nice, but I’ve heard that line before (people rarely follow through in practice).

      I guess there’s going to be some interpretation about what a high vs low result really is (like how a 6/10 rated game or movie is “low”). I personally thought the raw results would have been lower based on some of the doomposting elsewhere in the thread.
