Dear Irina:

“& also have immense guilt for having contributed to this as a human and as a meat eater“- we all contribute to the destruction of our planet, and in more than just one way: driving a car, even if it’s a smart car; using electricity.. even using the computer as you did to submit your post, and as I do now: Sciencing. com/ how do computers pollute the environment-  “Computers also contribute to energy waste. Waste creates needless pollution… This energy waste translates into greenhouse excess gases that contribute to pollution and global climate change”.  Unless we live completely off grid, growing our own food, purchasing nothing from any kind of retail establishment.. we pollute.

“Even though I started to advocate, donate & turned vegan, I can’t stop having obsessive & suicidal thoughts as the suffering… I understand now that I won’t help any kind with hatred & sadness in my heart & will try to heal… so that I can eventually put all this time & emotions into action, instead of doomscrolling & paralyzing“- thank you for your work on minimizing human-created damage to all that is alive on our planet, and for preventing more suffering of animals, including humans. Please do heal and minimize your own suffering as well: after all, you too matter!
