Cycling is cool but that's small-fry compared to if we all went vegan (or even just vegetarian)...

While I'm a card carrying bike nut and plant-based eater, I feel we can make more of a difference encouraging people to do things that are less all in.

Work commute too far right now? Maybe start replacing the small car trips with bike trips.

Veganism unthinkable? Maybe try a meatless day or two a week.

Something people can wrap their heads around, and after trying, realise they haven't died.

Maybe try a meatless day or two a week.

I'm not a vegan but, are there really people who eat meat 7 days a week?

I live in regional Australia, there are people who eat meat every meal.

I'm not the one to ask, I don't eat meat.
