Our Projects.
Many of these projects will wither and fade away, links will break, etc. But I'll leave these here in case what we were up to interests you.
Within our broken food system, we have identified the leading destructive force: animal agribusiness. Animal agribusiness is the number one waster of and polluter of water, the number one cause of air pollution, the number one cause of man-made global climate disaster, species extinction, world hunger and disparate food distribution, deforestation, the leading cause of death and disease (in the U.S.), and number one cause of animal cruelty and killing. So we’ve made our focus the number one consumer choice able to help the world: switching from animal-based foods to plant-based foods.

Build a Better World.The question isn’t, “Can one person make a difference?” You are making a difference. The question is: "What kind of difference do you want to make?"
Your consumer choices drive the state of our world: the quality of our air, the future of water, the ways in which people and our fellow animals are treated, even climate changes that threaten the very existence of life on Earth. You want to be fair to others. You want to be kind to animals. You want to protect the planet. But social pressures and programming have created a disconnect between who you want to be and the effects your choices have on the world. Reconnect your choices with your values of justice and compassion. It isn’t about changing; it's about becoming who you truly are. Live your values, save the world. |
