No, killing to eat is not immoral in all circumstances. For example, the Inuit live in conditions where the growing of plants for food is not possible. Instead they rely on fish, whales, seals for their sustinence. They are not immoral people because of this.
As for more effective ways of stopping environmental degradation, well I would say changing policy on large scales would be more effective than a few people becoming vegan. How we extract energy from our environment can and should be altered greatly but the cessation of eating meat completely, whilst it may help, doesn't address how we produce our plant food and the enormous environmental damage done by arable farming, as well as a vast array of other damaging practices.

If everyone became vegans, would not the gap in the food supply have to come from plant based farming? So would there not be an increase in arable farming to compensate for the loss of meat in our diets? Hence the way I see it there would be little difference to our world as intensive arable farming would at the very least remain at present levels or more likely increase.
