I'm verry new to trying to be vegan. I make some exceptions but for the most part I have been doing pretty well.

Welcome to the forum Aw214! What inspired you to go vegan? What exceptions do you make?

Welcome Aw214.

Your profile reads freegan. What does that entail? Do you eat discarded food?

Freegans are great. On average they probably do less damage to the world than vegans.
How to become vegan in 4.5 hours:
1.Watch Forks over Knives (Health)
2.Watch Cowspiracy (Environment)
3. Watch Earthlings (Ethics)
Congratulations, unless you are a complete idiot you are now a vegan.

You just replied to a question with a question.

Concerning the second part, eating food that would otherwise be wasted has a zero footprint. Eating food that was planted, grown, and possibly transported for human consumption has a small negative environmental impact.
