COP out

I went vegan overnight on Earth Day to combat climate change. I believe I saw a study that stated a plant based diet (especially a WFPB diet) can reduce your ecological footprint by up to half. HALF. I went vegan for the environment and wildlife - Now I am an ethical and environmental vegan 💚 I've been trying to plant seeds with my fellow environmental activist friends 🌱 Great video 😊

Thanks for that. In my view you just can't be a true environmalist if you are not vegan. What do your friends say when you talk to them about it?

@@BeTheAlternative I've gotten some positive feedback. I see them making small swaps- oat milk in their fridges, veggie patties in their freezers. I haven't received any major negative pushback- only that they would "love to be vegan" but don't know if its "for them". I kind of hate that line because I hear it constantly while doing online outreach too 🤣 I'm an environmental scientist, and most of my friends are too, as well as my coworkers. That is pretty much the base response I get, or "Wow, I know that's great for the environment." I know they can do it too if they tried and looked more into it.
