@FarmTraveler If you don't want to debate him, then debate me. First off, you should be specific about your claims of misinformation in the video.
Then address this study, which is the largest to date on this topic.
"Eating a vegan diet could be the “single biggest way” to reduce your environmental impact on earth, a new study suggests. Researchers at the University of Oxford found that cutting meat and dairy products from your diet could reduce an individual's carbon footprint from food by up to 73 per cent.Sep 24, 2020"
“A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global acidification, eutrophication, land use and water use.”. -Joseph Poore, Environmental Science Researcher, University of Oxford

Good questions. What can each of us do about it? Boycott their products.
Humans do not need to eat animals or what comes out of them to thrive! The largest organization of nutrition professionals officially said so-
"It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that appropriately planned vegetarian, including vegan, diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits for the prevention and treatment of certain diseases.
These diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence, older adulthood, and for athletes. Plant-based diets are more environmentally sustainable than diets rich in animal products because they use fewer natural resources and are associated with much less environmental damage. Vegetarians and vegans are at reduced risk of certain health conditions, including ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, certain types of cancer, and obesity. Low intake of saturated fat and high intakes of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, soy products, nuts, and seeds (all rich in fiber and phytochemicals) are characteristics of vegetarian and vegan diets that produce lower total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and better serum glucose control. These factors contribute to reduction of chronic disease. Vegans need reliable sources of vitamin B-12, such as fortified foods or supplements."

The food industry is one that we can do something about. Vote with your wallet and boycott meat dairy and eggs! Humans do not need to eat animals or what comes out of them to thrive! The largest organization of nutrition professionals officially said so-

@aussiejubes If I understand you, I think you are saying that going vegan isn't sufficient to end climate change and environmental degradation. I agree, but remember the laws of supply and demand. Unlike a lot of problems these days, you and I have the power to affect the demand for animal products with our choice at the store and restaurants. Less demand means fewer animals being bred into existence to meet the demand, everything else being equal.

Also, when you buy plant based meat dairy and egg alternatives, you are increasing demand for those things.
