Struggling with an ethical dilemma? New Internationalist’s Agony Uncle can help you find answers in our troubled political times.
I don’t eat meat, and I haven’t for years, on ethical and environmental grounds. It’s hugely important to me, and I’m a vocal advocate for the lifestyle, usually.
However, when I visit my elderly grandmother I put my beliefs to one side so as not to cause a fuss – she’s old fashioned, and I don’t want to create extra work for her or make her feel judged.
The New Internationalist is an independent bi-monthly not-for-profit magazine that reports on action for global justice. We believe in putting people before profit, in climate justice, tax justice, equality, social responsibility and human rights for all.
New Internationalist acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We acknowledge that these lands were stolen and sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to Elders both past and present.
