I wish being a beekeeper, which I am, gave you a free pass on the carbon footprint, but it doesn't.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you're eating grassland meat, your carbon footprint is light and possibly even negative.
Living an environmentally responsible lifestyle can seem like a Scrooge-like list of don'ts. Don't take that flight, don't buy that car, don't eat those blueberries flown in from somewhere far-flung.
I'm an environmentalist; I recycle.
My mother has always been a worker bee, but she's also a serious foodie.
Either you abandon fossil fuels, or you find a way to get that carbon back.
The beet must be uprooted.
You can't really call yourself an environmentalist if you're still consuming animals. You just can't.
I am involved in Greenpeace. And I just recently completely switched my diet over to near-veganism. So you try to do little things that you can. I recycle every single day. Every single thing in my house that can be recycled is.
My goal is to leave this planet with the biggest carbon footprint I can possibly leave.
I've never turned into a bee - I've never been chased by a mummy or met a ghost. But many of the ideas in my books are suggested by real life.
