"This idea" is that everyone is voting, not that you personally were voting, or that I personally was voting.
If you instead wanted to provide yourself as an anecdote, that's different.
Sorry that I was unclear. Personal anecdotes are quite different from claiming something is a global rule. I was just trying to double-check that you were giving an anecdote.

However by dietary choice you can reduce the damage, and you can also reduce the damage by educating your child with good manners concerning the environment.
