Tax meat, ban burgers on Mondays, the Cambridge Climate Congress knows what is good for us.
The old Catholic habit of abstaining from meat may have faded away in many homes after Vatican II, but what was once taught as being good for your soul is now being promoted as good for the planet by the likes of David Suzuki.

"When our kids look back in 20 year's time and ask the question of this generation, were they fair dinkum or did they walk away from it, I'd rather say that I threw everything at it."
