Overview
The hue and cry around climate change are real and are getting serious with each passing day. While some of us are pertinently working to defer the disasters, others aren’t even bothered.

Although the percentage of vegans and vegetarians is as small as 6-11% as per the United Nations’ figures, the hatred towards factory farming is ever increasing.. from Hollywood celebrities like James Cromwell, Ellen Page to famed comedians like Frank Ferrante and Russell Brand to the Gen Z and millennial influencers, all denounce factory farming and are the flagbearers of veganism and vegetarianism.
While they might be the frontrunners for the cause, Elysabeth Alfano is here with us who will reason the cause and explain why this lifestyle is towards sustainability and a better world.
