“I’ve had an epiphany recently,” Cameron continued. “I want to challenge
all of you as people of deep conscience, people who are environment stewards

he went vegan a year ago, and urged everyone at the gala to read up and do
the same. “I felt like I was waking up from a long sleepwalk. I believe we
are all sleepwalking off a cliff if we don’t do this.”
