Dear Karen,
thanks for your post on the list. I strongly support your argument and
hope that the (coral) science community finally starts to support this
call against animal production. Be it in the form of personal behavior
change, vegan catering in institutes, on conferences and field trips,
and actively incorporating this important factor in research and
communications. We can do a lot more in this direction.
Cheers
Christian
