00:00If we are someone who cares for the environment, we cannot miss the fact that a huge bulk of carbon emission comes from animal agriculture.
00:10Because we cannot quit the flesh on our plate and because we cannot quit our dairy, that is leading to immense environmental and ecological damage.
00:20Being in possession of the fats, these things should matter to us, irrespective of the institution we come from.
00:26It is not the job of the institutions to enforce such things. Institutions should actually be, in a liberal sense, enforcing nothing.
00:34We as individuals should be looking at these matters. We as young people should be looking at these matters and deciding on our own.
00:40We know what is happening. We are all pretty literate and sophisticated people.
00:45We are conscious of data and if we look at the data, it is compelling enough.
00:50And from there will come the incentive or the persuasiveness to go vegan and to promote veganism.
