A Question about Being A Vegan Dilemma…

…I was not born into being a Vegan, thus I had to learn later in life- THANK YOU, MD COLLEGE’S PHILOSOPHY PROFESSOR MR. FINK!, & had to constantly figure things out, as I took it really slow to becoming Vegan, so I was never going back.

I make a big deal to represent & not sell-out on important things like this & was former shoe salesman (the original crew were awesome & best workmates, I have ever had) & former clothes salesman, so I had a lot of clothes that are not Vegan. To practice what is best for ‘Global Warming’ & rest of environmental & employment issues, I do not throw away clothes, thus never have to buy new clothes & I have been athletic thin my entire life, so clothes from HS. It is bad to just throw away clothes (some are well woren, especially, work shoes) or even donate, because they are not Vegan, for previous mentioned reasons.

Then there is issue of being representative/role model of what Veganism is, cannot always have time to explain it to all that see me.

How does other Vegans handle this?
