Ewan: Wildlife Warrior Role Model

H&M Kids is on a search for kids around the world aged between 6 to 14 years old to join a phenomenal movement by bringing forward, championing and telling the stories of these young changemakers who are making a positive impact to this world. 

Here, we have Ewan.

I nominate my son who displayed an innate desire to make a difference in animal agriculture and consumerism. Many adults aren’t very good role models [mommy here is guilty] and our children CAN BE our role models too; if only we listened. 

This role model’s special ability: 

WILDLIFE WARRIOR 

Most Inspiring Act: 

He has cut down tremendously on meats in his diet [not that he likes them to begin with]. It is as if he was born with a natural instinct to not favour meats, Ewan once pulled us away from a restaurant and told us to not patronise it. While in our queue to lunch, a TV screening of how the restaurant braised their ducks to make it deliciously irresistible got him rather disgusted. “The poor ducks killed to be put on our plates.” he thought. It isn’t a necessity; it is luxury. He was only four years old back then. 

Today, Ewan cries at scenes in storybooks where animals are being killed for fashion products. With that intuitive resistance, he influenced the family in his own way to be conscious about what we eat or purchase to cut down on animal agriculture and consumerism. 

Although the adults are worried he won't get enough nutrition because he chooses to put his fish and meats aside, I am proud of my son who innately finds them unappetising. Unknowingly, he contributes to a teeny weeny downfall towards [excessive] animal agriculturing. All we have to remember as humans is, "Let us just take enough and not more than we need." This is the only way to keep our ecosystem balanced. 

“They Are Never Too Small To Change The Big Picture.”

Let our children speak. Let us listen.
