How to be a great climate activist:
Age 18: arrive at a Russell Group university from a market town you couldn't wait to leave.
Age 19: discover environmental studies. Discover Greta. Discover that your parents have been doing it wrong this whole time.
Age 20: become vegan. Inform the family group chat. Skip Christmas dinner on principle.
Age 21: graduate. Move to Hackney. Share a flat above a vape shop with three other graduates of the same course.
Age 22: write your first article. The angle is that British farmers don't understand sustainability. You have never met one.
Age 23: get a job at an NGO funded by a billionaire whose foundation owns shares in fake meat. Don't ask questions.
Age 24: fly to a climate conference in Lisbon. Post about jet lag. Delete the post.
Age 25: appear on a panel. Refer to yourself as a campaigner. Refer to farmers as "the industry." Refer to cows as "units."
Age 26: write a book proposal called *The Last Cow*. Get the advance. Spend it on a flat deposit and a stand mixer.
Age 27: receive an MBE in the New Year's Honours list for services to climate awareness.
Age 60: retire to a cottage in the Cotswolds. Order beef from the farm next door. Tell nobody.
