O/T - general election 2019

[KerrAvon]

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?

I seem to have caused upset when none was intended raging. I was merely curious about how vegans with strong views on the environment managed to square the footwear circle (and avoid sweaty feet from wearing plastic). If you are not that guy then fair enough, but you did recently mention paying to offset your carbon footprint when you fly and other pro-environment messages, so it went beyond voting green.

Good luck with the plantar fasciitis. I have never suffered from it myself, but I know someone who does.

No worries Kerr. I did contribute (not start) to a discussion on the environment where people were talking about what they try and do personally to help. I did mention what I personally try and do but at no point said I do more than anyone else on it, and I think my ignorance on electric cars and offsetting was there for all to see (and good for me to learn from). But I didn't promote any enviro policies or urge anyone else to follow any enviro policies, and never have done as, I'm sorry to say, it isn't on sufficiently on my radar.
