If everybody cycled like the Dutch, we could offset the UK or Australia’s entire carbon footprint.

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.
