Hello friends and fellow animal lovers! I hope you are having a fabulous Saturday! Wow! It feels like such a long time since I have posted something new! The school year has been SUPER busy so far, and although I have a lot of fun posts planned, it is been hard to find time to write them! But today, you are in luck, because not only am I going to be writing about veganism and delicious food, but I am also going to be writing about The Happiest Place on Earth: DISNEY!!!
Among my many areas of geekery, Disney is one of my very strongest! Trips to Disney World have been some of the best times of my life, and my experience with the food there as a vegan has been amazing! Surprisingly, Disney has actually done a great job at providing delicious plant-based foods in their parks and resorts, and chefs are always willing to do their best to substitute and/or leave out ingredients to make a given menu item vegan. Some family favorites of ours are the Dole Whip at Aloha Isle, and LeFou's Brew from Gaston's Tavern, both of which are in Magic Kingdom. We also ate at two amazing Table-Service restaurants on our last trip to Disney. Rose and Crown Pub was in England in Epcot, and Sanaa was at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Both places had spectacular menus with tons of great vegan options!
Even though Disney is already being so accommodating to it's vegetarian and vegan theme park visitors, they have recently announced that they are taking the next step towards an even more cruelty-free menu!
Hello friends and fellow animal lovers! I hope that you have had a fabulous day! I am here today to write to you about an amazing new group called
"Vegan World Alliance"!
Vegan World Alliance is a newly formed group that consists of four vegan organizations from The Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. The Dutch Association for Veganism, Vegan Australia, Vegan Society of Aotearoa New Zealand, and Vegan Society of Canada have formed this group to work on addressing global issues and to share their resources with each other so that they can work on promoting veganism, animal rights, and saving our planet.
Hello friends and fellow animal lovers! Happy Caturday! Today my mom and I went to our local Loyal Companion (our FAVORITE pet care store) to get cat food and they were celebrating Caturday in their store!
I'm going to be honest, we had no idea that they were celebrating Caturday when we decided to go the store this morning, but we were thrilled when we saw the sign by the door announcing that the event was taking place from 10:00-2:00 today! Sadly the event is over now, but I still thought I would share my experience with all of you!
Caturday is all about the cats! From amazing new product displays, to a free cat bag giveaway, Loyal Companion went all out! We even earned 2X the Loyalty points for purchasing cat supplies! Plus, the people working at Loyal Companion today wore cat ear headbands in celebration of Caturday!
Water is a precious resource, and we are running out of it. If people don't start reducing how much water they use, and soon, the world will only have 60% of the water that in needs in 2030. By the year 2050, it is predicted that nearly 52% of the world's projected population will be living in water-stressed regions. Over 2 billion people living on this planet today lack safe drinking water, and that number will only grow.
Did you know that you can save more water by skipping eating just one pound of meat, than you would by not showering for six whole months? You can! The despicable industry of animal agriculture uses up about 1/3 of the entire world's drinking water. You may be thinking: How is this possible? That makes absolutely no sense! But if you think about it, it really does. The animals that we breed and raise for slaughter need water to drink, as well as food, which needs water to grow, not to mention all of the water they use for hygiene purposes. By not supporting meat and dairy industries you are not only saving the animals (which is a great kindness itself), but you are helping to save water.
When people think of reducing how much water they use, most people think of the little things, like taking shorter showers, not watering their lawns, and fixing leaky taps, but those things are not going to save us. By one single person going vegan, you will be saving approximately 219,000 gallons of water per year! That is a BIG deal! One person, truly does make a difference, and it is up to you as an individual to decide whether you want to do your part in saving our planet, or if you want to push it off as a problem for future generations. You have an incredible opportunity to SAVE THE PLANET, and if you don't act now, it will be too late.
Hello friends and fellow animal lovers! I hope your weekend is going wonderfully so far! Today I have decided to write a post about The Vegan Society's incredible 30 Day Vegan Pledge that can help ANYONE go vegan!
The Vegan Society has so many AMAZING resources, for vegans and non-vegans alike. From the truth about the dairy industry, to delicious vegan recipes, The Vegan Society has all the information and resources that you will need to start living a healthier, happier, and more compassionate lifestyle with little to no fuss!
Taking the Vegan Pledge is SUCH an easy way to switch to veganism, or even just try it out for a little while! Taking the Vegan Pledge is simple and is in no way binding, so if you decide that it really just isn't the thing for you, no worries! If you do decide to take the Pledge, however, you will receive emails containing information about every aspect of veganism, as well as tips, recipes, and SO much more! The 30 Day Vegan Pledge helps over 1,000 people every month go vegan, and STAY vegan.
Hello friends and fellow animal lovers! It is time for me to go back to school. Goodbye summer, hello fall!
This summer I worked really hard on this blog and tried to make posts about things that everyone, not just vegans, would want to read. I think (and hope!) that I accomplished that. Since I am about to be a freshman in high school (which seems really crazy to me!) I am definitely going to have more things on my plate than I am used to having. I want to try my best to keep up with my blog as much as possible, and to continue putting out content that my readers will care about.
