Lobbying for the world to remain habitable is very different to lobbying so your catering company can make some money.

And of course he can express his view. As am I allowed to express my distaste in people lobbying for their own private companies' benefit.

And I absolutely cared about lobbying before I saw this news.

You’re ignoring the fact that veganism is much better for the environment than the standard diet.

I'm not. I know it is, as I'm sure everybody else is too.

But there are many ways to campaign for a better environment, and he has specifically chosen to go for the one that will help his catering company.

I don't think that was a coincidence.

I'm not even saying that we shouldn't be doing it. I'm just pointing out his lobbying for something that will benefit his business.

Going vegan is the most impactful way to reduce your effect on the climate.

No, it isn't. Not having children is.

And are we still doing the "personal climate footprint" propaganda that BP was pushing?

Both are good actions to do in this situation.

Everyone has their personal responsibility for their part.
