i love seeing how me being vegan is changing the habits of people around me. and i dont just mean people going vegetarian/vegan. just the little things. like how for his birthday my little brother wanted vegan pancakes because he thinks they’re the best. or my mom only eating vegetarian at her work cafeteria. or my dad asking me how to make vegan parmesan.
my veganism has a real and tangible impact on those around me and that gives me so much hope and joy
HANDMADE VEGAN BAR SOAPS
When people say that major corporations and industries are responsible for global warming and that we can do very little to make a difference, I totally agree with/understand/ respect that.
But like, that’s not where it ends?
We need to realise that our money and the choices we make in everyday life have massive effects on how industries are run.
Using paper straws wont do shit in the grand scheme of things, but when you go to your local shop and look at the straws on offer, what do you now see?
Less plastic and more paper, because they know that’s what we want and what we will buy.
In the long run, stuff like that does make a difference.
It’s the same with veganism, we see more vegan food/places because demand has been created. Money will be made here, less land is used, no animals die, less waste and less pollution.
And it’s not out of the kindness of some CEOs heart, it because they want you to buy THEIR tofu and not someone else’s.
If we have this “it won’t make a difference” attitude then nothing will ever change.
We have power over companies and we should use it.
So use that paper straw, get the reusable bag, eat less meat, do whatever you want to do to have a positive impact in the world and don’t ever feel like you’re not making a difference because you are
Teach your kids to respect animals!
Teach your kids to leave animals alone if they walk away!
Teach your kids to put down an animal if they are struggling to escape!
It’s not that hard to teach kids that animals are living things and not toys!
Today I harvested some radishes, planted a hopeful courgette, some beetroot, and harlequin carrots 🥕
Don’t just throw away that border fence once it’s been cut! This tool of oppression can find new life as a trellis for hanging pots, or support for climbers such as cucumbers, tomatoes, or peas
