I’m a repeat #Corkor customer. As a #vegan, finding a beautiful non-leather everyday belt was BIG. You may want to give them a look, too. My first one lasted 10+ years and then I was able to #reuse the buckle and just buy a new belt.

Climate change is often viewed as an issue that's too big for individual action to matter. But calculations show that when personal choices add up, the impact can be significant.

"What we choose to eat is not merely a lifestyle choice but a systemic driver of both human and Earth’s health."
Each year, ~15 million adults die prematurely due to unhealthy diets – more than caused by air pollution.
If diets remain unchanged, GHG emissions will increase by 33% by 2050.

Animal agriculture is a major contributor to global food insecurity.
It takes ~1,595 ft² of land to produce 1 lb of beef, compared with only ~17 ft² for 1 lb of soy or ~19 ft² for wheat. Producing 3.3–25 kg of animal feed is required for every 1 kg of meat.
