I'd like to thank Tara who put this video together, as well as all the wonderful people who sent greetings on the 30th anniversary of the Vegan Society NSW. It definitely makes it easier when I know that there are people over the world working together on the path towards a vegan world.  Our numbers are still small in Australia, but the growth in the general acceptance of veganism over the last 30 years is encouraging.  And the increasing number of younger people involved in the movement is a great sign.  Here's to a vegan world in 30 years!

It would be interesting to know how many people went vegan because of something they saw or read prodcued by The Vgean Society NSW.  Of course, I'm sure for everyone it's a process with lots of little experiences moving them down the road, but still, I bet for a lot of people there is that one conversation, or video, or brochure that sealed the deal and made them finally go vegan.  After 30 years, it would be interesting to know how many people have reported back to The Vegan Society that it was something their organization did that made them go vegan?  Could be educational.

I think Will is pretty good on the piano too, Tyler. He was very generous to record that for us. But, he's always willing to help other people. He's a genuinely wonderful man.

There's not a whole lot of vegans here in Australia, but amongst those that we do have, many of them are super hard workers and very dedicated to making lots more vegans too! Especially those on the committee of the NSW Vegan Society! :)

Man, that Will Tuttle could go pro on the piano.  I wonder how many vegans there are in Australia?  I gather there are more than in Canada and the U.S.  I imagine being around for 30 years The Vegan Society must be fairly well known in Australian cities.
