Faiz 19 from Nigera, a college student in Cardiff.
“I am not going to change my diet if the price of them isn’t changing in a significant way, I eat process meat sometime, so maybe that will not change, but what’s important here should be changing people’s mind about it, eat heather and easing the situation of climate change is important for them. ” Said by Faiz.
Shane Powell, 30, Graduate student.
“It depends on if the price change significant, I may change it for avoid the extra fee, but I quite like meat, so, for me, it is like the price of sugar and alcohol. It’s more important that change the attitude of the public, let them be aware of the climate change. That might be a long-term job, but it will be helpful than just change the price.”
