Earthsave Canada is proud to have joined the Coalition for a Sustainable Food Transition, a group of Canadian environmental and animal welfare organizations promoting a dietary transition among Canadians towards more plant-based foods.
The recent IPCC report tells us that time is running out to prevent catastrophic global warming. We need to rapidly slash our emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. But the report also offers hope. We can rise to the challenge. Going vegan is one of the most powerful ways to do it.
We will outline some recent developments that have brought Marineland’s harmful practices to light and how you can help.
The controversial new Netflix documentary, Seaspiracy, takes viewers on filmmaker Ali Tabrizi’s quest to understand the harm being done to our oceans, and what the real causes of this damage are. Tabrizi quickly learns that the greatest threat to marine life is, in fact, commercial fishing. Whether large scale fishing could ever be done “sustainably” is doubtful, and in any event it is far more ethical to eat a plant-based diet.
An overview of what was and was not found in a new study on diet and the severity of COVID-19 infection. Plant-forward eating is associated with better outcomes.
Fully plant-based diets are the most efficient and, thus, the most sustainable – by tremendous margins. We can all make changes today to move in the right direction.
The use of misinformation by plant-based advocates is damaging and undermines our collective goals. The facts are on our side. Follow our tips for using an evidence-based approach in your advocacy.
Many vegan public figures have been using their platforms in significant ways to promote vegan principles. Here’s a quick look at the amazing contributions of some plant-based celebrities.
With the exploding popularity of plant-based products, we are set to see a dramatic transformation of our cultural relationship to animal-based foods. These changes will remove many of the social barriers some would-be vegans face, allowing them to act in accordance with their values without being stigmatized or excluded.
Our Voice for Change is championing and spreading awareness of animal-free dissection in BC Schools. They won $5000 in the Kelowna Sustainable Development Challenge to see their project tested in schools.
