Sometimes it may be hard, but by holding your friends, family, and community accountable we can someday learn how to better the environment all together.
Call yourself out on your treatment towards the environment!
Allow yourself to learn. We all make mistakes, and by admitting to them, and educating ourselves, life can get so much healthier. It's almost crazy to see how bad stuff like this can get. Once you realize just HOW MUCH trash, waste, and gasses we produce you almost never want to go back to your old thinking.
Have chats with your family and friends about ways to help the environment, educate kindly, and help people understand that everyone makes mistakes.
No one is more privileged, or "better" for being vegan, caring about the environment, or educating ourselves. Please don't treat uneducated people as lower. By following what others are doing, you take away your voice, and if we want anything better, that's a price we cant pay.
