Hello everyone, welcome to another episode of Our Voices! In this week’s episode, Elina is joined by European Studies Student Elias. We talk briefly about the upcoming European Elections (go vote!) but spend the majority of our time talking about veganism. As a topic that is close to both of our hearts, we shared are most important concerns about animal rights. We play a little game where Elina assumes the role of a meat eater and we test the most common arguments against veganism.  Here are some sources: https://animal.law.harvard.edu/wp-content/uploads/Eating-Away-at-Climate-Change-with-Negative-Emissions––Harwatt-Hayek.pdf https://oms-www.files.svdcdn.com/production/downloads/reports/fcrn_gnc_report.pdf https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/dec/10/revealed-fires-three-times-more-common-in-amazon-beef-farming-zones#:~:text=Revealed%3A%20fires%20three%20times%20more%20common%20in%20Amazon%20beef%20farming%20zones,-This%20article%20is&text=Fires%20were%20three%20times%20more,according%20to%20a%20new%20analysis https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/mar/06/meat-dairy-rice-high-methane-food-production-bust-climate-target-study https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/oct/10/huge-reduction-in-meat-eating-essential-to-avoid-climate-breakdown Here are some great, free resources if you want to try Veganism, or if you’re just interested: :-)  https://veganuary.com https://www.therealcolourofmilk.com https://rainbowplantlife.com Lastly, here are some vegan creators/influencers/pages we like: https://www.youtube.com/@ed.winters https://www.instagram.com/diaryofamadblackvegan/ https://www.instagram.com/plantbasednews?igsh=dXB3azVpcDRtbmN3 https://www.instagram.com/peta?igsh=MW93eHUwb2lqcWppeg== https://www.instagram.com/thesurgesanctuary?igsh=MXV2Zm90em9xYndiNw== If you want to meet some vegans, there’s an active VSA in Nijmegen, Rotterdam, Amsterdam and others.
