Feeling guilt about not doing it sooner<br />
Out of all the replies, this<br />
one threw me. This self-hatred<br />
and disappointment<br />
defeats the triumph of making<br />
the decision in the first<br />
place. Who cares if you’re<br />
72 and only just turning vegan?<br />
That’s one more day<br />
than other people. That’s<br />
one more life saved.<br />
To overcome: Use a vegan<br />
calculator<br />
We don’t have time travel<br />
yet (do we?), so we can’t<br />
go back and decide to be<br />
vegan from birth. But, we<br />
can measure the impact<br />
our personal vegan journey<br />
has. The Vegan Calculator<br />
calculates the gallons of<br />
water, lbs of grains, square<br />
foot of forest, lbs of CO2,<br />
and animal lives saved for<br />
each day we’ve been vegan.<br />
If you’re feeling down<br />
one day, use the calculator<br />
to witness the impact you’re<br />
making already!<br />
These were the common<br />
challenges faced by vegans<br />
when starting their journey.<br />
As I progress to a more ethical<br />
and vegan lifestyle, I will<br />
face these challenges head<br />
on and discover hurdles of<br />
my own. This tweet reminded<br />
me that we’re not alone<br />
on this journey. The actions<br />
I’m taking may be individual,<br />
but it is as a collective we<br />
can make a bigger impact.<br />
