Ah, Harpo. I've been doing everything I can about this most of my life. I always recycle, I have solar power on my roof, I drive a Prius and have a Tesla 3 on order. I'm afraid you are definitely "preaching to the choir" here. You are addressing a group of intelligent educated people on this site. We may all agree whole-heart, and yet there are billions of folks struggling everyday just to stay alive. If you know of a way to educate people who are so poor they can't pay attention, please tell us how!
Income does not determine Intelligence. I know 1 or 2 people who are very poor, on disability benefits, have never worked, yet have vastly more intelligent than for example most of the people sat in the House of Commons.
The poor are not unwilling to be educated on these issues, and they
can pay attention, they simply cannot afford to do anything about it.
A Middle Class Professional on a reasonable income can afford to get Organic Chickens, free range eggs etc, to get food that is much better for the Planet and it's sustainability. A poor person simply has no choice, They cannot afford the often shocking price of food that is organic, free range, gluten free, vegan, vegetarian and so on.
I had organic free range chicken once - I loved it, my ex fiance didn't - she just found the chicken taste too overpowering. At the time that Tesco organic chicken cost around £10, whilst a much larger standard Tesco Chicken (battery farmed I assume) cost £4. We simply couldn't justify spending that much on a Chicken. Luckily she could cook, and she quickly taught me to cook, so for a short period of 3 or 4 months, when a Recruitment Agency let us down, and we were forced to subsist on Jobseekers Allowance, a couple claiming get less than if they stopped living together and made separate claims which is crazy, but due to being able to cook, and having the wits to go to the Library and find budget recipe books, so we were able to maintain eating freshly prepared food, rather than relying on Iceland and other stuff filled to the lid with sugar, E numbers and other chemicals - I am diabetic, and those sorts of foods, sauces etc are lethal, they are packed with so much crap.
But many people don't have that option. If Organic etc came down in Price to be the same as the non organic/veggy stuff, if it could compete better, ,then maybe more poor people would start adopting it, and tuning down the factory harmed animals they are living on now.
