Would you go vegan for skiing?

Profahoben_212I am literally 90% vegatarian due to the fact that it's cheaper.


It's not that hard to just not buy meat when you go to the store. But yeah I feel. I used to think it would be pretty hard.

neonedgeI don’t know a ton about climate change, but I’ve heard most of the problems are caused by big corporations, and so individual changes don’t make much of an impact, so I probably wouldn’t. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to be better to the environment, though.

J_SOf course, big corporations in this case being animal agriculture companies. By choosing not to change, you’re giving them your ‘vote’. The way I think of it is, just because there’s plenty of people who leave trash in the snow at ski resorts, doesn’t mean I should too.

Overall, it’s so much easier than you’d think. Once you’ve made it through the lifestyle change you’ll be back to your normal life, just healthier and better for the environment.

neonedgeThat’s a great point, I definitely never litter or anything like that, and I recycle nearly everything, I just don’t know if I could make the switch to vegan. Respect to those who do though.

K-Dot.Pretty reductive infographic but if that's what it takes...

theabortionatorI'm going to cook up some bacon now. Fight me

IsitWinterYet17Why don't vegans eat fish? I mean it's not like eating fish is bad for the earth. WWJD

-eREKTion-Overfishing is actually one of the worst things for the earth. The ocean's ph levels are way out of whack and unfortunately, it's too late to fix the damage that we've done to delicate aquatic ecosystems. Coral is dead and isn't coming back.

IsitWinterYet17You know coral is dead from acidification of the ocean due to rise in sea temperatures from global warming? Not fishing. Overfishing is a problem, but not for coral.

GrandThingsIf every American was vegan for ONE day a week, it would be the equivalent of taking 7.6 million cars off the road.

I do Meatless Mondays every week.

IsitWinterYet17It's a cool sounding stat but if you think about it, that's 14.2% of my life to take 0.063% of the world's cars off the road. And that's only if the entire country does this. The USA is a drop in the bucket as we are only 4.3% of the population. No thanks. If the world decides they want to do something significantly effective to work on global warming like going vegan, I'll support, but not gonna drastically change my life for something that won't make a lick of difference.

There's plenty of days Americans including myself go meatless without even thinking. The vegan days are what doesn't happen; I enjoy dairy and eggs.

J_SHow is this 14.2% of your life spent any differently just because you’re eating a bean burrito instead of steak one? Just curious.

If you want to reduce your impact then stop placing the responsibility on ‘The entire country’. The truth is that animal agriculture is responsible for more greenhouse emissions then the entire transportation sector, and it’s one of the most efficient ways for you to reduce your carbon footprint. Nobody’s asking you to spend
30 grand on some solar panels or to ride a bike to work every day, just to try some new foods and be healthier overall.

I get it that going vegan seems seems like every meal is a new hassle, but the truth is that once your routine is established your day to day life will be unaffected. If you’re not interested then I don’t want to waste your time or mine, but if that’s all you got then I would definitely consider looking further into this.

IsitWinterYet17Let's just agree to disagree. All I was saying is your cute quote about going vegan once a week won't do shit ]

GrandThingsVegan pussy also tastes better.

J_SI was thinking about this the other day because so many people have been going vegan. I figured you guys would have some interesting opinions.

So, with the issue of climate change threatening winter sports altogether, shouldn't it be noted that animal agriculture is one of the biggest causes of climate change? It seems like the simplest way to make an impact is the one that everyone ignores - eating less meat.

Twinjibber77It's ok to eat fish, they don't have any feelings.

J_SBump.. Anyone trying out a vegan 'turkey' roast tomorrow?

IsitWinterYet17Wtf does a vegan turkey roast look like lol? Or taste like?

RusticlesHere's an idea,
Let's cancel all air travel. Really, there is absolutely no need for it, only for people to visit other locations.
Jets burn shit fuel and they are not burning it clean either. 10% of every barrel of oil produced ends up in a jet.

Twinjibber77Just found out the other day that large cruise ships burn 250 tons or 800,000 gallons of fuel per day...



This all goes back to the Bill Burr bit about sinking cruise ships, also because cruise ship people are the worst kind of people. Annoying vegans get a free pass on that 1st place.

RusticlesLivestock covers 45% of the earths land???? I call bullshit.

Misleading info graphic is misleading.
