vigilante justice... we need more of this; then the world would be a better place
I told the cyclist in front of me on the Manhattan Bridge today that his rear wheel was wobbly. Does that count?
Yes,as long as said cyclist wasn't in full blown USPS lance Armstrong like spandex as if midway thru the tour de france.If he was Then you have a responsibility to the rest of us to just let him go.
Few things that I found myself changing lately in my life, and it makes me feel better: I gave up meat, fish, eggs and trying to avoid dairy as much as I can (only thing left is getting rid of coffee in the morning, working on it). I've been vegan before but somehow got back to eating meat. This time, I just came to this point when realized "I don't want to be a part of it". So I cook more often, healthy veggie dishes, re-discovering my way in the kitchen, this time without cruelty I also try to get rid of drinking sodas. works most of the time
I buy much less than I used to, I used to buy clothing and such way too often. Especially when I traveled abroad. And just woke up one day and decided I wanna get rid of things, so I sold some and donated the rest and it feels so much lighter. I learned to choose quality over quantity.
And the most important thing is that I started creating things, when I want something I first of all think "can I make it?" if so, I do it. I take sewing classes, I create my own clothes and I love it.
Small changes, I know it's not something big, I know I can do more. But it is a good start.
Here is a pic with 2 dresses I sewed and some crochet work.
Nice work on the dresses! I am hopeless with a needle. So much so that when I told my husband I could sew on a button, he was doubtful. I did used to crochet...
I have been vegetarian for 20 plus years, mostly avoid dairy and eggs too for the last 5 or so. Try to avoid leather, volunteer at the animal shelter, etc. Good for me, the animals, and the environment.

Do you find yourself more prone to catching colds and feeling run down without the animal protien? I've toyed around with different eating habits and currently just avoid dairy and simple carbs and sugar.6days a week(Pizza on cheat day).But when I gave a raw all plant based diet a spin.I thought it was lacking and tough to get all the grams of protien needed.And just not as yummy. I found being an avid gym rat meathead,that the lack of lean animal protien not only made me feel like I had less energy,but my recoup time seemed off.I watched That video Forks over knives and tried some concepts they talked about,and it had Merritt but I can't get past the Big protien defecit

Tonight I felt like it's time to revive this thread. We talk a lot here, but what are we doing? No one needs to answer that, but maybe we should just think about it. What are we doing to make a difference? Did we go to a rally yesterday? Did we make a call, sign a petition, write a letter, or just write stuff on social media about what's going on in the world?
I've done some work but I can always do more. Anyone else feel the same way?
