I really enjoyed helping out, even though I only conversed with one person about meat issues and spent the rest of the time encouraging people to take leaflets. Gosh I do [...]

Shattered dreams

I went to a presentation at the library yesterday about diet and its link to climate change. Oh. My. God. Sure, I knew this stuff already but the way it was presented really drove home the facts. A regular, meat eating diet is NOT sustainable, and you can make more of a difference by going [...]
