Грета ЛазуритExtinction Rebellion must recognise and embrace Veganism as a pathway to achieve their goals.
Frank Podmore 🌹✊@greta @blankideogram I think one of the advantages of #XR is that it's goals are so clear and focused. Veganism is probably part of the path to achieving a sustainable world, but that doesn't mean it should become part of XR's strategy.
I mean the participants / members must be vegan.
@greta @frankpodmore Realistically that's going to limit the available participants. We need as many as possible. You could say, excluded those who take holiday flights. Or drive cars, etc, but it wouldn't help the aims in the end.
@blankideogram @greta Agreed. Exclusionary movements are unlikely to achieve the kind of change that's required.
@blankideogram @greta Unless you're going for a proper Bolshevik-style, revolutionary cadre type thing, in which case diet is probably the least of your worries!
@frankpodmore @greta fair comment.
