Lee Hall "Veganism: It's Good for the Earth -- But Is It a Realistic Goal?"

17 December 2008 Lee Hall, legal director for Friends of Animals (www.friendsofanimals.org), an animal-rights organization founded in 1957, gives a succinct and inspiring overview of the importance of vegan living -- for our health and that of the planet -- and then explains why "animal rights will have unprecedented power to confront the environmental crises of our time." Hall is one of the creators of VeganMeans.com, and author of the forthcoming book On Their Own Terms: Bringing Animal Rights Philosophy Down to Earth.
