    You’re picking a water bottle out of a landfill and calling it a victory. If it makes you feel less powerless by all means, you do you. But there are a thousand corporations, each with a fleet of dump trucks adding to it every hour.

      That’s not how I would describe it. Change always starts with a personal realization. And what animal agriculture does to our soil, rivers and atmosphere is not right, do you agree?
      We could reforest close to 80% of agricultural land, thats an area the size of Africa, and return it to nature. Forests cool our climate, breathe in co2. Do you want this? It is already happening and you can be part of it if you decide to buy chickpeas and lentils instead of animal tissue. It’s one step closer to a solution. A small step, but the right thing to do.
