This is a normal post According to research
if you do not reproduce, you can drive a car, go on a transatlantic holiday every year, eat meat, wash your clothes at 60 degrees, use a tumble dryer, not recycle, and use old school lightbulbs and still be less than 10% as polluting as a vegan parent, who doesn't drive, fly, washes clothes in cold water, hang dries those clothes, recycles, and uses low energy lightbulbs.

My view is that each person has a CO2 allowance, sort of like carbon credits, and you can use yours however you like.

I use mine on a nice car, foreign holiday, electricity, and meat. I still have nearly 90% of my allowance left compared to being a parent, so I donate that to the real polluters.

Most vegans I know have children, often more than 1. They should really be doing more for the planet though, don't they have any shame for their actions?
