There is no Planet B.” “I’m with her.” “System change not climate change.” The climate is changing, why aren’t you?” “Unless someone like U cares a whole lot, nothing is going 2 get better. It’s not.” “Divest or it’s just more hot air.” “There is not Planet B.” “I stand for what I stand on.” “I speak for the trees.” “Make earth cool again.” “Where will your kids live after we poison the Earth?” “Our kids deserve a future.”

You cannot be an environmentalist if you still consume meat, dairy, fish or eggs. Cognitive dissonance is a real thing. If you really care about the planet, then go vegan.
You just sentenced the poorer parts of the world to malnutrition end starvation.
Vegans are taking away food from animals
Vegans think they do good to animals, but they are wrong as they cause them to starve.
Populations of birds is decreasing, and we know why.
