    Are you reducing the harm to others in a actually statically significant quantity though?

    To others I suppose you refer to animals. By being vegan you mosly reduce harm to a few species of big animals.

    Most animals by quantity are insects.

    If you count by individuals a person who saves a few ant nest from the horrors of nature and give them a nice controlled habitat would reduce the number of harm happening to individual animals orders of magnitude over what a diet change could achieve.

    As for environmental damage. It’s a way. But not the only way. The most effective way to control environmental control would be to reduce the number of humans on earth.
