The Summary: Happy Friday VegNews Book Clubbers! It was quite a busy week (at least for me) and discussion was a little bit lighter, so thanks to Crystal for keeping the discussion alive! Also, I want to thank those who submitted questions for Kathy Freston—her answers to those questions will be posted next Friday.

For this week's discussion, I asked how you reduce your carbon footprint other than being vegan, and what is the hardest thing you've done for a cause. As mentioned, Crystal gave some great tips on being more environmentally friendly, such as using reusable bottles and letting laundry air-dry when possible. No matter how conscious we are of the environment and the problems it faces, I think it's always important to be reminded of useful tips on how to do better. For the second question, Crystal mentioned that the hardest thing when supporting a cause is to stand up for it even when faced with discouragement from others. This is definitely important because it's inevitable that we will come across differing opinions when it comes to social-rights movements and other causes.

Please finish Veganist for next week's discussion. Have a great weekend!
