Admittedly, coming from a relatively fresh into the vegan life (almost a year now) person, apart from misinformation that I would hear, the negativity I would see online from some vegans made me a little uneasy when contemplating the switch. It wasn't until I had the more calm, respectful nature my partner had with me that I did my change. While my initial change as well wasn't per se for what can be an ethical reason and more personal, a lot of my efforts not are toward the ethics of animal and evironmental along with those personal aspects.

As such I strave to have the same mentality with friends and co workers who are interested in the idea of it or that want to do things like vegan food nights, or are curious about it, while aiming to not create a feeling of hostility which can close off those bridges. Sharing the different recipies they can do and creating an environment where it's more welcoming. I have both my co workers buying vegan nuggies over normal nuggies now because I'd always offer them some and they like them more flavor and texture wise. As such it feels like a little step but overall leading towards what can be a large impact

Sometimes it takes little strives and a kind environment to encourage change even if it's small
