In an interview with HotSpotATL, Megan talks about how she first took an interest in going green.
Megan Thee Stallion Dishes On Going Green
“In high school, I was in this environmental science class, so that’s when I started learning about the environment and what was going on,” she said.
“When I graduated I never really thought about it again — I would try to conserve though — but when one of my Hotties came she was like, “Hey Megan, I know it’s a Hot Girl Summer, but can we talk about global warming … I was like, ‘you know what: Sis, tell us what we need to do.”
Megan says she’s been considering giving up meat as well.
“I’ve been eating a lot of vegan food lately, but i’m really on the vegetarian boat right now. Vegan is kind of hard, I love cheese.”
See the interview below:
