abstract:Veganism () is the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly in diet, as well as following an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of sentient animals. A follower of veganism is known as a vegan.
Families who have already weaned themselves off the grid, or opted, when possible, for public transport, veganism, non-exploitation of native species, refusing to wear leather, fur, or exploit animals in any way, need to be rewarded for their benign, cruelty-free (or nearly free) environmental altruism.
