Veganism and OSE
I noticed that there are some parallels between the vegan and OSE community. Both are ethically motivated, they try to create a better world and are considered to be weird by the mainstream. In OSEG - OSE Germany - vegetarianism is over represented compared to the Germany average.
We can learn a lot from vegan movement, especially from its the pragmatic branch. A very good book is "How to create a vegan world" by Tobias Leenaert. Their you will find many practical advises which can be applied to also to OSE. It also contains an important critical part which helps to better understand ourselves and the "other side". This helps to lower frustration when talking with others and to develop efficient strategies.
Questions
