1) You're confusing vegetarianism with veganism. Veganism is more than just meat.

2) Your 1% figure is not sourced and allegedly only involves USA & EU. Global climate changes demands global solutions, the EU and USA together can't solve everything.

3) The best estimate if you want to put a number on it is closer to 15% [1]. Of course, you can't eliminate all of that with veganism because animals produce other non-food items that are useful, such as fertilizers.

I'm all for cycling and public transport, agree on that. Don't agree that veganism doesn't make a (huge) difference. The animal rights argument is something that you brought into this discussion. Total straw man.

I'd like to add: fly only if really necessary and try to offset carbon emissions from flying if you must fly.
