The Global Student Climate Strike and Veganism

All of our guests attended the global student climate march on Friday, March 15th, 2018. Some went to the New York march and protest. Others went to the Los Angeles march and protest. All of our guests are vegans who raised the issue of animal agriculture's huge role in climate change, a subject mainstream environmentalists often avoid. The striking students, most high schoolers inspired by fellow student activist Greta Thunberg of Sweden, were aware that meat is not green. Many described themselves as mostly vegetarian. A few were vegan. Our guests discuss how to connect the growing global climate change awareness to the animal rights movement. Ellen Dent describes how she got on stage and took a stand for veganism.
