I hate these headlines. Know what else would be like taking 8 million cars off the road? TAKING 8 MILLION CARS OFF THE ROAD. But instead of talking about transportation alternatives or better land use that reduces car dependence the article focuses on something completely unrelated, as if car use is some kind of immutable constant.
Why not both?
Because muh steak.
Which reminds me, I recently had a fantastic falafel kebab.
It is far easier to reduce meat consumption over reducing car consumption. It is an immutable constant. Hence the constant comparison.
I completely disagree.
