VEGAN FAMILY GUIDE

Support groups for climate actions arranged by easiness and impact:

The following graphs infer how we should prioritise our personal climate action, (it is within our power to make a quarter of the emissions reductions needed through lifestyle changes): plant based diets, buying green energy, and using public transport often come out top, as well as ethical banking and limiting how many children and pets we have. Campaigning can encourage the remaining three quarters of change needed in industry and government to avoid the most catastrophic ecological collapse.

ECO PARENTING What we can do to give our children a better future Parents have a ‘pivotal role in shaping a culture’ as we socialise the next generation. We are responsible for leaving our children a habitable world. Through our environmentally friendly everyday actions we teach our children to have a hopeful and empathetic attitude and consciously shape a compassionate family culture (within our budget and circumstances).

To parent for peace is to actively encourage kindness toward all beings. To live with warmth is to bring a cosy glow wherever you go. Connect, observe, adapt and try to make sure everyone eats and sleeps.
