When you hear about all the terrible things happening to animals, people and the environment every day, it’s easy to want to shout it from the rooftops. Working in animal rights and humane ed, I read about extinction, global warming, farm animal hell, and usually some pre serial killer actions by male teens like microwaving [...]
Know a high school junior who is a vegetarian? Do they help promote vegetarianism in their community? The Vegetarian Resource Group has a great annual grant. They give out $10,000 total ($5,000 each) in college scholarships to two veggies. The annual deadline is February 20. You’ve got plenty of time before the next round. In [...]
PETA was kind enough to send me a copy of this lovely new book “The PETA Practical Guide to Animal Rights: Simple Acts of Kindness to Help Animals in Trouble.” I’ll be sending it out to one lucky winner. Contest will end on Monday at 5pm. All you have to do is leave a comment, [...]
Right now on The Green Loop Charmone shoes are on sale – a ridiculously great sale. Shoes are now $49. These shoes originally retailed for between two and three hundred dollars. I personally want the pair to your right. This sale works for everyone no matter where you live because it’s an internet deal. The [...]
I just had the pleasure of trying Cool Cups. It has been YEARS since I’ve had anything resembling jello, so I was very excited to sample it. And I wasn’t disappointed. They are light/fruity/sweet so you can eat them and still feel light. I hate desserts that weigh you down. But this was just a [...]
I happen to love tofu. I think it’s a really versatile food. Between stir fry, tofu scramble and tofu egg salad, the options are endless. My only gripe is that, in order for tofu to be good, you have to press the water out of it. I won’t use paper towels because I feel bad [...]
Watching this short trailer made me feel anxiety and anger. It’s about the Japanese whaling industry, dolphins who are killed, or kept in captivity. It was a 2009 Sundance winner. Rolling Stone describes it as, “Sundance is known for documentaries. But this baby, a cross between Flipper and The Bourne Identity, packed the heat…An intrepid [...]
I wouldn’t normally be telling you about great winter coats in June. But, for Vaute Couture’s debut line, they are only making 25 of each coat (in each color). Vegan coats can be hard to find – and on the not so stylish side. But Vaute Couture’s line is beautiful, vegan, eco friendly and fair [...]
The Onion posted something absolutely priceless. The title: Gymnast Shawn Johnson Put to Sleep After Breaking Leg. If you want to start your day off with a smug smile, please watch this. It does what The Onion does best – pokes holes in common practices by comparing them to something outrageous. In this case, comparing [...]
In the past two months, three of my friends have gone from being omnis to vegetarians. Three completely separate people. In my life, not many people I know have become vegetarians/vegans. Usually, when I meet one, they have already been one for quite some time. My mother and a few friends back when we were [...]
