I'm not putting any extra pressure on you. These are things you're already doing, by and large.

These are ways going primal can actually help not harm the environment.

Number one, grass-fed beef from rotationally grazed livestock may actually save the planet.

The popular arguments against environmental merits of grass-fed beef are that it's too inefficient.

You simply can't support enough animals on open grassland, certainly not enough to feed the world.
