Red meat has a huge carbon footprint because cattle requires a large amount of land and water.

If you don't have a car and rarely eat red meat, you are doing GREAT 🙌🙌 🙌
Sure, you can drink tap water instead of plastic water. You can switch to Tea. You can travel by train. You can use Linux instead of Windows AI's crap. Those are great ideas. But, don't drive yourself crazy. If you are only an ordinary citizen, remember that perfect is the enemy of good.

Rice and refried beans for me! (my cholesterol is high)
Just be sure to scrutinize the ingredients in those refried beans. A lot of them contain lard.
Also, don't forget to include as many dark leafy greens in those rice and beans, which will help a lot in lowering cholesterol.
I do green peppers and asparagus, green but not so much leafy lol, along with a sweet onion. Meal prep that stuff on Sunday and my lunches for the week are all taken care of. It's like one of the few areas of my life I feel like I'm doing pretty well in.
