Go vegan. You will no longer be apart of horrific animal abuse, the leading cause of biodiversity loss and deforestation, and if done correctly, will likely improve your health. You won't be able to get so much good from doing one thing.
And if you can't do that, it's not all or nothing. It's not about keeping your soul pure.
Go vegan on weekdays. Or weekends. Or one meal a day. Or do vegetarian instead of vegan.
There are a lot of ways to do a nonzero amount of good, and you may inspire others to do so. And this partial commitment allows you to do so without any adjustment to your lifestyle. You will not suffer a B12 or iron deficiency or whatever else you're worried about. You don't have to eat weird foods you're grossed out by.
Maybe a nice halfway point would to be vegetarian...
incremental steps like reducing or eliminating beef consumption by substituting less water intensive meat (e.g. chicken / turkey) are also helpful
Do you know if there are food tracker apps that can incorporate a n emissions style tracker into food planning and eating? For example is it better to opt for imported sardines or for locally grown chicken? I imagine the answer varies.
This is a fair strategy.
