I went vegan in 1997 Kerr apart from 2 years when cheese got the better of me in the early 00s. Was nowt to do with the environment. Don't wear leather obviously but guess we all need to think about alternatives to plastic and non biodegradables. Hard enough to buy good wearing non leather shoes as it is, especially as long term sufferer of plantar fasciitis.

Where did I say I had strong views on the environment by the way? The only thing I can recall is stating my preference for the green party but that is hugely influenced by their commitment to animal welfare that no other party can match. But that's all. I'm well intentioned on global warming, recycle as much as the council will let me but not as up to date as you appear to be on environmental issues. But I don't claim to be do I?
