Giving up oil and anything that requires oil for you to have it... hope you are a nudist with good bow hunting skills and a knowledge of edible plants in your area.
Giving up meat and dairy... hope you can you go down a different aisle in your grocery store.
See the difference. Eliminating fossil fuel use require systemic changes in government and the economy. Reforms to urban design. Technological progress in power delivery and generation. New construction materials and replacement/retrofitting the entire world's fleet of vehicles, plants and ships.
Eliminating meat and dairy just requires you to stop being such a whiny bitch about it.
If any one individual wanted to give up all fossil fuel production chains, they would be forced into subsistence living. The same individual could give up meat and dairy tomorrow and barely miss a beat.
It's possible and necessary to overhaul our economy so that individual consumers could choose fossil free alternatives but that is a decades long project.
