    Reducing your meat consumption is likely the most effective way of lowering your personal climate ‘footprint’.

    I hear this a lot, but I think the context of what other actions are available and their relative impact is important in this kind of discussion.

    Of course, this is all with the knowledge that trying to put the onus of fixing climate change on the individual is both doomed to fail and a great burden for many. Climate change can only be properly addressed by top-down action, which we should all advocate for.

I understand and respect that parents may choose to limit what their children read, especially at younger ages. My wife and I did. Others do, too. But no parent should have the right to tell another parent’s child what they can and cannot read in school or at home. Every student deserves access to books that reflect their experiences and help them better understand who they are.”
