Welcome to the next episode where we celebrate Emma turning 30, and share some super exciting personal news with you all!
We also talk about our new favourite meat substitutes, whether petrol is made from dead dinosaurs (it turns out... no it's not, it's actually algae), and catch up on how the industry is doing with the latest grant of £76 million.
Then we discuss going vegan and cruelty-free with our cosmetics, the difference between the two terms and give some tips on how you can do the same.

In episode 2 of The Plant-Based Performers Podcast, we celebrate our 1-year vegan anniversary! Emma surprises Lee with some statistics about what they have saved over the last year using a vegan calculator.
Between us we have saved:
730 animals
14,872 pounds of CO2 (the amount 7,000 humans exhale on an average day)
21,914 square feet of forest (the same as 3 tennis courts)
32,872 pounds of grain (enough to feed 1 person for 18 years)
803,532 gallons of water (this could fill 1 and 1/4 Olympic sized swimming pools)
We also discuss our feelings on fish and the fact that plastic could outnumber fish in the ocean by the year 2050.
Then we chat about life on the road as plant-based performers, the challenges we've faced, and any tips and tricks we have found.
