Why vegans should think before they switch on a light

Vegans could face a dilemma when it comes to turning on the lights or the central heating – as much of the nation’s energy supply does not meet strict vegan standards, it has emerged.

As such, vegans fear that simple tasks, such as running a hot bath, cooking a meal or reading a book under a bedside lamp, may compromise their principles.
