There is no such thing as “vegan day” no more than there is such a thing as a “gay day” or “non pedophile day”?? Being Vegan is an ethical way of life towards all Sentient Beings, all the time, not on a special day. You can’t just one day be a Vegan no more than you could say you are not going to molest children or enslave people or have sex with the same sex on any given day because its the best thing not to do. Its not a diet or fad! Its about NOT abusing living Beings EVER again for our taste buds, fashion sense, and etc… ok:)?! get it??!

While flying is a fast-growing emitter of GHG’s it is responsible for less than 2% of global emissions (Stern Report). Less flying is good, but there may be a counter argument to consider. As highlighted in Bali, deforestation in the poor South is responsible for 30% of global GHG emissions! Most of these forests and woodlands’ are located in the South, and their survival, in Africa at least, are dependent on ecotourism - visits from you guys in the rich North. And there are few practical ways of visiting these longhaul destinations other than flying. Ships? Yes, if you have the time. Hopefully carbon offsetting schemes will include “avoided deforestation” projects in the not-too-distant-future. Some reflections on the dilemma:

I’ve been looking at ways of reducing my carbon footprint and stumbled across the following website http://www.pegog.com

I have to send gifts to Australia each year from the UK and unless I said them surface mail (the cut off is 1st October each year) they end up being sent by air. I can now use pegog to order my gifts as late as I want, (within reason) as the retailers are Australian and they gift wrap and send the gifts locally, not only reducing my carbon footprint but also saving me money.

The site also allows my family to do the same ordering from UK retailers.

It’s only a small thing but the more people who use it the bigger impact you would think it would have.

Good list - we have never had a car or a tumble drier, very rarely fly, are veggie (almost vegan)activists, bank ethically. It’s time to get green electricity, thanks for the useful link on that one!
