This reminds me of the whole "take shorter showers" thing. The amount of water consumed taking showers is minuscule compared to how much water is used for industrial agriculture. It's not going to make a difference to take a 5 minute shower vs. 10 minutes. So it overall feels very defeating as an individual to try to make a change.
Definitely agreed that it's important to take a look at all of the domains that have an affect on the situation. That said, one of the things "take shorter showers" and similar efforts does do is raise awareness and helps people keep it in mind as part of their daily life. This can have an effect on the decisions they make in other areas as well.
But if you're pushing for "take shorter showers" legislation imposed on all, I expect you to take shorter showers now.
