be vegan for a better world

I was sorry to see that you did not have veganism on the agenda as being vegan is the the most immediate thing any of us can do to slow down climate change, or maybe it is easier to talk about others changing their lifestyles than making a change in our own.

Look at the figures:-

About 25% fossil fuel emissions can be saved by being vegan.

Yes, don't use vehicles unnecessarily, STOP flying anywhere, use ONLY fossil free fuel, don't buy ANYTHING new, you can repair or buy second-hand, don't decorate just for the sake of it, don't waste food, buy only chemical-free locally grown produce and /or grow your own, don't do more laundry than necessary, don't smoke or other drugs, don't drink alcohol or any produce which has to be transported from other countries.

Yes let's do all of this, but please, I cannot take your committment seriously until you stop supporting the trade in animals.
