  • Hmm... sounds like the meat industry discovered our hippie tree huggin' web site. LOL. Despite what the previous post says, meat is still quite harmful.

  • Go Umbra!!! When I read the question I was worried you might give some softline answer, but you came right out and said it. WASTE IT!!! When we buy meat in any form, we support meat and all of the attendant evils. If that vendor saw the meat go "to waste", that is a clear indication of diminishing demand. You go girl.

  • On Babys

    I can't see a future where the government incentivises fewer children. It is a simple matter of economics. More babies=more worker drones=more money. It has been that way forever. The "selfish" attitude of the wealthy and educated who choose not to have babies may be what saves us from overpopulation. So, here's to more education!On Umbra on small steps with big impacts posted 1 year, 1 month ago 18 Responses

  • Drive vs Fly

    Umbra already did a great comparison on this. Its very clear- driving is ALWAYS better. Avoid the plane. Take the car. Take the bus. Ride a bike. Walk.On Umbra on small steps with big impacts posted 1 year, 1 month ago 18 Responses

  • WHOLE GRAIN!!!

    Don't forget that whole grains are a critical part of a vegan diet. They've got a ton of great protein, healthy fats, fiber, and other essential nutrients. They're also less processed and locally available. Every eco-vegan should be encouraged to eat only whole grain! On Umbra on shifting to vegetarianism posted 1 year, 2 months ago 19 Responses

  • Thanks Umbra

    Thanks for answering my question!!! Ironically, I finally took the plunge and gave up drinking anything but water 6 days ago. I can't tell you how bad my head HURT the first three days. I'm starting to feel human again and am loving the fact that I don't have to empty my recycling every three days.
