The key to anything is Education. The more you know and the more you understand, the more changes we can make and better the effect over time.
When people are approached by the idea of a vegan or vegetarian life we feel as though we are being attacked. Told that every thing we know and understand is wrong – that we are wrong and we are part of the problem. But that is not the truth.
The truth is we were raised with certain ideas planted into our head, told by an industry that we couldn’t survive without living this way – and that is the lie.
By taking a moment, and a leap of faith, just to further your education and knowledge base concerning veganism, vegetarianism, animal rights, factory farming, health and environmental issues is the first step to a better tomorrow.
Below is a list of resources to help you educate yourself on the issues. Information is out there, but sometimes its hard to know where to begin, but know that places like Mercy for Animals, are here to help you learn more.
I hope you find what you are looking for and that you will share this site to help spread the word – and most of all I hope to see you at Acenda Yoga the week of May 23rd – 27th to take part in some yoga, vegan food, fair trade items and the spirit of community!
