#GoVegan now! There is no need for abuse, torture and killing.
Just like we should have never enslaved people.

The number of land animals killed for food every year (92 billion) is close to the number of humans that have lived and died over the last 192,000 years.
No other form of exploitation, no catastrophe, and no violent industry in the world can even remotely compete with eating animals.

Animal Farming Is the Greatest Source of Preventable Suffering on Earth
A harrowing reality we can no longer ignore

For West Africa’s coastal communities the ocean is everything. Now, because of industrial plunder, their only livelihood is in danger. Will you sign to protect the oceans for generations to come? >> act.gp/3MpeWZE
STOP THE INDUSTRIAL PLUNDER OF WEST AFRICA
The industrial fishing lobby is powerful, and West Africa's fishing communities can't fight this battle alone.

I just signed the Polluters Pay Pact to demand that African governments and leaders worldwide enforce binding laws to hold oil, coal and gas companies financially accountable for environmental destruction and lost livelihoods in our communities. act.gp/3FXr8xO
Polluters broke it, we're paying for it
Sign the pact, record your story. Join the global movement to make polluters pay.

What happens when you remove nature’s shock absorbers?
The impacts are immediate and local:unchecked floods, deadly landslides, disrupted rainfall, and devastated communities.
The 2021 Kalimantan floods are a tragic example of this cause and effect.

With only 45 out of 109 boreholes working in Elim and the surrounding villages, residents almost never have access to clean drinking water.

Fewer than half of Elim’s boreholes work and municipal water tankers are a rare sight
Private water sellers are filling the gap, but the municipality says they are acting against the law

I'd like to start a vegan, antinatalist eco village (but without esoteric vibes!) with a sanctuary for all kinds of animals, where there is a nostalgic café con library, as well as a few yurts to rent out, a little indie perfume shop and a manufactory, where we create the perfect plant-based cheese.

Yes! About 20 yrs ago I planned a whole community & made a file. Of course, the cafe & bookshop started it off. The recycling centre had a repair shop next door too 😆
Can't remember what I called it. Tossed the folder during Covid.

Where have the geckos gone? Haven't seen any sign of them for a few weeks.
I have ventilated bricks for hidey-holes, and plants on my balcony. Also a flower pot with fruit & veg peels to attract little fruit flies, and just the same - no little gecko poops on the walls.
