I want to acknowledge the indigenous land that I was on for the duration of my stay - While here for about a week, my intention was to leave as little of a mark as possible, acknowledging my positionality & knowing that I am just a temporary visitor on this land that is not my home- supporting indigineous farmers and businesses whenever possible & spending my days outside, gently in nature. I visited last month & will not be returning anytime soon so as to honor the island’s wishes. Thank you for having me and giving me the space to heal and shed. I am eternally grateful.

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.

Another couple of days in our lives living and working in beautiful Barcelona. This one has a lot of vegan food featured, including awesome vegan tacos from Gallo Santo and the most healing lunch at Honest Greens in El Born. We have a couple of coffee shop fails as we search for somewhere to work in the day, but have settled on using the flat for now, until we find a co-working space or coffee shop nearby. It’s all good though as we get out and enjoy yoga by the beach and go for a swim most mornings at the moment. I absolutely love living and working here in this city and it really helps it’s so vegan friendly too! Next vlog I will share more fun things to do around Barcelona and the first filming day for my membership, My Mindful Movement here - I’m excited and nervous! Thanks so much for supporting this channel and let’s chat in the comments…. What are you having for dinner tonight? Lots of love Hels x x x

The best Thai vegan street food we could find in Phuket Old Town's Sunday Walking Street Market - Travel Vlog

In this segment of our Asian vegan food tour playlist we visit the famous Phuket Sunday Walking Street which is on every Sunday afternoon from 4pm - 10pm. This is a free attraction in Phuket Old Town.

Come along with us as we sample some of the most unique street food we have ever seen in Asia. This market incredible with cuisines for all taste buds.

The market is accessible from all parts of Phuket via the Blue Baht Bus which runs daily to and from Old Town.
If you're coming to Phuket, add this market to the list of Must See Places. It's a foodie's paradise, even for Vegans looking for a cheap night out!


Wikipedia says that "Old Town is an area of historical interest in the city of Phuket. The main streets of Old Town are Thalang, Phang Nga, Krabi, Dibuk, and Yoawarat. Old Town is noted for Sino-Portuguese buildings on both sides of the street. Many old buildings have been converted into shops, hotels, restaurants, and museums... Phuket has a rich history as tin-mining country peopled by Siamese, Chinese, Malays, Indians, Eurasians, and sea gypsies."

Discussing whether or not dogs, cats, and other pets can be Vegan.

Matt went vegan for 30 days and the health results were really surprising...

Veganism is a hot topic these days, will you get tired from it? Is it really hard to avoid animal products? Is it even a healthier diet overall? Matt is the guinea pig for this one and tries to answer all these questions.

What's your opinion? Do you think the vegan diet is a good idea?

Animal food production is a major factor in the acceleration of climate change, responsible for over 18% of greenhouse gas emissions – more than all modes of transport combined – while animal agriculture is responsible for 91% of destruction in the Amazon.

D-Fuse proposes an exploration of our planet’s fragility and the effects of man-made climate change, taking inspiration from Charles and Ray Eames’ film, Powers of Ten and the Relative Size of Things in the Universe, which illustrates the cosmos as an arena of continuity and change, using the system of exponential powers to visualize the importance of scale. Powers of Vegan adapts this concept to highlight the disastrous impact of humanity’s energy, water usage and food production models. Key to doing so is the creation of 360-video content offering viewers a fully immersive VR experience at each stage of a fantastic voyage... ...A close-up of a cow eating grass that pulls back to first reveal the extent of deforestation across the Amazon Rainforest, then our planet as a vulnerable speck within the universe; the destructiveness and insignificance of mankind is, hence, made painfully clear, suggesting that, unless we become better stewards of the Earth, its resources will soon be depleted, forcing us to seek a new stellar home.

Contining this journey at a 10-to-the-tenth metres per second, the audience returns from deep space to Earth, homing in on the cow again, entering its blood stream while viewing data visualisations of just how harmful current farmng systems can be, as well as positive messages promoting change.

In 1998, Powers of Ten was preserved in the United States’ Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” We intend this work to be equally enlightening, ensuring that the audience’s VR experience is interactive, meaningful and thrilling throughout, so that they might further reflect on the issues ‘dramatised’ long after it has ended.

D-Fuse’s pedigree as creators of experimental documentary content will ensure that high quality outcomes are delivered on-time and in-budget, previous works – notably the Small Global installations, which translated data about consumption into an immersive environment – having been shown at events including Sonar, Eyebeam and TriBeCa Film Festival and Prix Ars Electronica . Of further relevance to this proposal are the Carbon Crisis Blipverts, a series of animations exploring aspects of global warming, the Deforestation Blipvert forming part of Al Gore's current An Inconvenient Truth presentation.

Welcome to what I eat in a day as a NEW vegan AKA someone who is going vegan for one week!!

Lotsa plant based, healthy, easy & yummy recipes!

I've been vegan for 6 years and training for 8 years. Here's how my body transformed in that time and what I learned.

My 6 Year Vegan Body Transformation - 3 Things I Learned

Here's my full vegan body transformation as a male, before and after:

About 8 years ago. I was a lost kid.

There was a video game called Metin2. I was addicted to it. I smoked cigarettes on the weekends and I often drank to black outs.

Sometimes I spent days without leaving my room - glued to my computer. Or my hookah. I used to smoke hookah when gaming or watching a video.

My big brother called me "the unhealthiest person he knew". And I think he was right.

Yet, I thought to myself: "Why change, if this is working just fine?"

Jokes on me. My life was deteriorating in front of my eyes. I was just too blind to see it.

I nearly dropped out of school due to bad grades. I was looking to become a lawyer and felt like I had no control over my life anymore.

1. Accept total responsibility.

You are at your current situation because of you. Not because of any other external circumstances, not because of any force that is against you. But because of YOU and the choices that you made in the past. Once you accept full responsibility for your situation, you can change. You can change your choices – you can change your life.

One time, still in my gamer, smoking and drinking time, a friend of mine dragged me in the gym.

Although I didn't like exerting myself at all, I noticed early on that the gym helps me grow. It made me feel excited about the future. It made me feel truly and sustainably good about myself. Something I haven't felt in a while.

The results of training however were slow. I remember I was googling 2 weeks transformation and was dissatisfied with my results.

I wanted to give up multiple times on this journey of my body transformation. So I had 2 options: 1. Throwing in the towel or 2. Learning more about what I'm doing wrong.

I chose the latter - so I had to develop an insatiable need for knowledge.

I devoured dozens of books on the topic. Hired coaches. Got my degree in the Swiss Academy Of Fitness and Sports. And stumbled into veganism along the way after reading the book 'Eating Animals' by Jonathan Safran Foer (amazing book btw).

I went vegan after 2 years of training and it was the first time I ever saw a sixpack in my life.

2. The value of learning.

Strive for continuous education. After finishing school is when the education starts, not where it ends.

Right now I am training for about 8 years and am vegan for about 6 years. My blood test results are perfect, I have a sixpack year round and I can run a 10k, do martial arts and train in the gym.

Being in great shape is an enabler & an amplifier for your life. It makes everything way easier. You have more confidence, you have more energy, you feel mentally clear and you feel in control of your body.

Here’s how serious I am about this: If someone would offer me $1,000,000 to go back to where I was 8 years ago I’d decline. No thanks.

Realize that your body is your vehicle for life. The better you fuel it and the more you take care of your vehicle, the better your life will be. This was a key learning that I took from my 6 year (and ongoing!) vegan experience.

3. The only true asset that we have in this life, is our health.

Without health, we can’t enjoy relationships, we can’t enjoy our family, we can’t enjoy our wealth. Health therefore should always be a priority and be reflected by our lifestyle choices. Where we spend our time, where we spend our money and where we spend our energy.

⁣This video explores the benefits and considerations of vegan nutrition, a plant-based diet that excludes all animal products. The ⁣ video discusses how a well-planned vegan diet can provide all the necessary nutrients for good health and reduce the risk of certain diseases. However, it also highlights the importance of being careful to ensure that you are getting all the essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that your body needs. The ⁣ video emphasizes the importance of seeking guidance from a healthcare professional or nutritionist when adopting a vegan diet to ensure that you are getting all the necessary nutrients for good health.

The shocking, research-based benefits of five foods for athletic performance and recovery.

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!

Humans create over 2 billion tons of garbage every year. We all have to live with that. Others are doing something about it: They're making vegan leather from rotten mangoes, recycling plastic into bricks, stuffing teddy bears with cigarette butts, and lacing up sneakers made from shopping bags.
