    So you can lobby for the world to be a better place but in order to be genuine about it, you have to be vegan… Gotcha

    Well, if they were flying private jets, would you think they were being genuine about trying to combat climate change? I wouldn’t.

    What kind of integrity do the leaders of this kind of organization have if they weren’t showing some personal responsibility to better the situation?

    If you had to donate to one of two groups who share the same goal, would you opt for the one where the members all drive cars, use private jets, don’t recycle, and eat factory farmed meat?

    Or would you donate to the one where most members ride bikes, don’t fly in planes, recycle everything, and who eat a plant-based diet?

    To put it another way, why support these guys instead of another group with values that are more in line with their message or making the world a better place?
