Contemplating the strange human species, & my life as a beef cow.
Biodiversity, ecosystems, extinctions, climate, pollution, plastics, animal rights, sentience, human rights.
Science, systemic change, individual action.

Of course I'm vegan, I'm a cow.

I follow many people on here who aren't vegan, because they align with my other values & hopes for human society. I absolutely disagree with some of their lifestyle choices (for instance, I'd rather they didn't want to eat me) but that doesn't stop me from appreciating & learning from their wisdom❤️

A timeline cleanser: My recent newsletter is about rise of "repair cafes" around the world, where communities come together to fix each other's beloved things. The goal: reduce consumer waste, and maybe make some buddies in the process 🔧👭

Forcibly impregnated from a young age, their babies are stolen from them so that they can be relentlessly milked.
After milk production slows around 25% of their lifespan, they're sold off for cheap meat.

If you’re an environmental NGO and you’re not naming animal agriculture as a major threat to the planet, you’re not doing your job.

Govts sticking their fingers in their ears and going "La, la, la, la, I can't hear you, la, la, la..." won't stop climate change and all the consequences for life on Earth from happening.

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.

Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

Lost?? If wealthy countries had ever been serious about tacking the climate emergency they'd have mandated plant-based diets, significantly cut back air & road travel, & massively reduced extraction, manufacturing (esp plastics), & consumerism.

Several countries recognise war remembrance by wearing poppies. Please donate to a purple poppy appeal to support service animals & remember all animals pulled into human wars.
Animals who serve aren't heroes, they're innocent victims.

A study surveyed nearly 21,000 people across 23 countries and found exactly what many in the vegan movement have known for years: most people know animals feel, think, and want to live, yet they keep using them anyway.

Vegetarian is not enough 🐣

🎨 VeganSideKick
This image is a comic from *Vegan Sidekick*. On the left, one character says, **"Don't you think it's cruel to be breeding chickens to lay eggs, and then throwing the male chicks into a grinder?"** On the right, another character is shown dumping live male chicks into a grinder, with blood splattering. The character responds, **"No. Because the females are going to be free-range. So that makes this fine."** The comic illustrates the irony and hypocrisy of justifying the cruelty of the egg industry, even when "free-range" practices are used.

More crocodile tears on the news this morning, as phoney animal loving ostrich farmers cry foul on the execution of innocent animals they themselves had every intention of killing

If this story upsets you, go vegan & help prevent further atrocities such as this one 💔

Of course carbon offsets have turned out to be greenwashing.
Since their conception we've known it's just a grift for corporations who want to make a buck out of climate change, & fairy-tale accounting to help people feel good about their unabated GHG emissions.

‘There is no money’: As carbon markets collapse, what happens to the forests they promised to protect?
After it was found most offsets did not represent real carbon reductions, the money dried up. But successful schemes such as Kasigau in Kenya now face a stark future
