But it would show how seriously I’m taking this."Ralf has also just turned vegan, but previously noted that by changing his lifestyle in this way, it would only contribute to around a four percent reduction to his carbon footprint.And of course, he needs to factor in the new diet when he's working."Though when I’m back in Guadeloupe, I may have to make it pescatarian," he chuckled of the endless fishing opportunities in the hidden paradise.Back in September, Ralf shared an alarming article highlighting the climate issues we're heading towards.He sighed: "This is why I will keep talking about it despite the many unpleasant responses I get."Because there is nothing bigger than 'a code red for humanity'."Some say 'offer solutions'.
