Reptiles often eat other animals and for some that can be a deal breaker. Are there any reptiles that only eat plants? Well yes, and these five make amazing pets!


Rdents for some people is a deal breaker so the logical alternative would be an herbivore reptile that only eats plants. Great news, there are several great salad munching animals to choose from. If you are into big reptiles a rock iguana or a rhino iguana might be the right option for you! Cyclura as a family are so interesting and unique. These big lizards can be amazing pets for the right keeper and they are 100% herbivores. A smaller but still sizable option if you're looking for an arboreal lizard might be a monkey tailed skink. Monkey tail skinks have a wicked prehensile tail and can have an amazing temperament for an arboreal species. of course these skinks only eat plants which makes the diet rather easy to take care of and overall these can be great pets! A more common vegan lizard would be a uromastyx. There are several species ranging from bright colours to more drab colors and small or large options too. All Uromastyx eat plants and seeds only making them great pet options for those keepers who want a really cool lizard buddy with super hot and dry environments. Tortoises can't be overlooked, well most of them. Red foots and other similar tortoises do eat some protein but most other tortoises are 100% plant based shell bois! Want something really unique? Chuckwalla lizards are really cool, come in many colors and of course that diet it is 100% leafy greens and other plants!

China is the biggest consumer of meat in the world, but its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions is also fueling a plant-based food movement. Annie Louey explains.

How and why I went vegan! Plus before and after pictures from my 30 lbs with loss (I'm 5'9" for those wondering why I don't quite look 30 pounds heavier in the before. I'm tall so when I gain weight, it's more evenly distributed but trust me, at the start of summer 2015 I weighted 168 and by the time I moved back to LA in October 2015 I weighed 138. I weigh bit more now, about 145 which is a healthy weight for my height...but more about that in tomorrow's video :)) So in this video I talk about losing the weight, why I went vegan, how I did it, and I share some tips for new vegans or anyone curious about trying a vegan diet.

I hope you find it helpful and realize that ANYONE can be vegan. I was soooo not a "typically vegan"type....I liked vegetables, but then again I liked all food! I could not imagine this would be a path I chose but it's honestly one of the best things I've ever done :)

If you have any questions, let me know in the comments! See you tomorrow!!

No meat? No problem. Paco explores the plant based taco scene in Los Angeles, starting with a yucatecan take on vegan tacos at Hijo de su Madre, then getting astrological at Alchemy Organica, and finishing with a new kind of traditional tacos at El Cocinero. All three sacrifice nothing while providing unique and inspiring variations on the tacos we all love.

Dr Michael Greger - How Not To Die

Michael Herschel Greger (born 1972) is an American physician, author, and professional speaker on public health issues, particularly the benefits of a whole foods, plant-based, healthy diet and the harms of eating animal products.

In his lectures, videos, and writings about nutrition he tries to persuade people to change their eating habits from a Western pattern diet to a whole foods, plant-based, healthy diet—optimally to vegan diet—and says that such a diet can prevent and reverse many chronic diseases. He is critical of other doctors for not challenging their patients to adopt plant-based diets and to avoid animal-based products and criticises the US government for giving watered-down advice about healthy eating in its guidelines, in order to protect the economic interests of food producers—especially those who make junk food or produce animal-based food.

Do you ever feel like Orange County is so conservative they closed almost all of the recycling centers to ward of homeless people who love to recycle? Well I have to go to Mission Viejo to recycle. But at least there's a cool little cafe there called Higher Grounds and a lovely little hiking area with statues and bridges, a peace obelisk and an Earth Day monument.

It's Earth Day, and even though veganism is clearly the greatest thing you can do for the environment, one can always do more. And I'm not one to shirk my responsibilities.

Can "ethical" be synonymous with "fashion-forward"? Can vegan materials perform just as well as or better than animal-derived products? Is it possible to be at the top of your fashion game and be cruelty-free? Gathering together the designers making all the above possible, PETA hosted its first-ever Vegan Fashion + Sustainability panel talk with designers Joshua Katcher (founder, Brave GentleMan; faculty, Parsons), Leanne Mai-ly Hilgart (founder, VAUTE), Stephanie Nicora (founder, Nicora Johns), Rebecca Mink (founder, Mink Shoes), and moderator Taryn Hipwell, a member of the faculty at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM). A packed house of design students, style influencers, and fashion industry change-makers attended the event, which was held at Pyo Gallery LA, just a couple of short blocks from FIDM's campus.

Have you joined the vegan fashion movement yet? Over the years, fashion trends have been changing all around the world. In recent years, we have witnessed the growth of a new era in fashion. Ever heard of "Vegan Fashion" ?

Vegan fashion is entirely cruelty-free. The main goal of vegan fashion is to stop animal cruelty caused by the industry. The leather that we use comes from the skin of pigs, cows, or even alligators. Animal fur also comes from the skin of beavers, coyotes, lambs, rabbits and foxes. The objective of vegan fashion brands is to eradicate such animal cruelty by offering cruelty-free and vegan substitutes for these materials. Many brands are going in this direction and producing cruelty-free vegan fashion.

Giving up meat, dairy and other food from animals is the biggest change vegans make to their lives. However, more vegans are now extending their beliefs to fashion. There is a big increase in the sales of vegan clothing, footwear and accessories. Vegan fashion that has transformed the fashion industry and is constantly proving that it is here to stay. Veganism promotes the use of sustainable, environmentally friendly and cruelty-free living habits. From the food we eat to the clothes we wear to the products we buy and the businesses we support, every choice we make is a statement.

Global organizations like PETA have reported large scale animal abuse for the sake of fashion. The leather industry especially is filled with labor abuse, lack of regulations, tanneries employing child labor and endangering the community and workers with toxic chemicals. Due to public campaigns and demand from consumers for transparency and accountability, the fashion world has now adopted a more compassionate approach.

Making the switch to vegan fashion isn’t as complicated and as expensive as many think. Replacements for conventional animal-based materials produced in nature-friendly ways, are gaining pace. A major shift in fashion production is underway, with a swell in the number of fashion brands experimenting with so-called next-generation materials like vegan leather. With the rising popularity of veganism globally, especially after the pandemic, a new side of fashion i.e. vegan fashion is becoming more and more relevant.

And on this episode we had a fabulous talk with Angie Bell, actress, animal activist, host & spokesmodel of The Vegan Fashion Show on first time here in Toronto, Canada.
