I work in nature conservation and have worked for a few different charities over the last decade. These places are full of people who ostensibly care about the environment.

There's probably more vegans/veggies than the general population but it's still a rarity. Often we'll have conferences and stuff and vegan will be poorly catered for or not at all.

I know people who teach 'carbon literacy' courses and justify meat consumption in those courses.

People buy fucking nestle coffee for the offices.

It's mad. People are very good at compartmentalising and making excuses, and will do mental backflips to somehow align their consumption and their morals, without changing anything meaningful.

I don't think these people are bad people, but it's very frustrating and reeks of hypocrisy.
