It’s basically true. Animal agriculture (land use, resource use, and pollution to create animal products) is a major source of pollution which competes with transportation for the biggest source of global warming.

Unfortunately the more nuanced take is that it’s not a single thing; it’s a series of choices that eventually become habit. But so is not owning a car.

I think technically the single most impactful thing you can do is to remove major polluters from the planet (though in many cases that is illegal so, in case cops are watching, I’m certainly not recommending that).

For anyone who is struggling to figure out how to delete their DigitalOcean account (it’s not obvious):

1. In Account Settings, delete all of your teams
   • This redirected me to a different setting page with an option to deactivate my account
2. Click Deactivate Account
3. Select the checkbox to purge your account data
4. Confirm that you’d like to deactivate and purge your account
5. (Optional but recommended) Fill out the exit survey and tell them that they’re supporting a neo-Nazi

Please don’t fuck Elon Musk, he’s already got too many kids :P (and already mistreats some of them)

As soon as I saw this I mirrored the repo here. Notably, the original repo is still up but it just got marked as archived.
