So far I have only convinced one person of changing over to a vegan lifestyle, and they're still going strong. I don't make it a mission though. If someone asks me about it, I will share what I know. In this case, it was a relative, so the support was ongoing. They've been vegan now for two years...actually this June marks two years.
Before anyone asks, the reason was for the health benefits, initially. Having said that, after two years of being vegan, my relative has now educated herself on the ethical and environmental reasons as well. She is a lifer now, like me.
