Earth Day: a time to celebrate the awareness of reducing our waste, carbon footprint, and also elevating our respect and gratitude to Mother Nature and her gifts. Honestly though, I think EVERY day should be Earth Day. Why take only one day out of the year to be compassionate to the planet? 😌🌏💕
For this lovely Sunday, I made a glorious macro bowl of roasted golden carrots, spinach, chili-infused purple cauliflower, blanched red (now blue!) cabbage, homemade gochujang seitan, and a dollop of vegan kimchi. Sadly I didn’t have any grains in my pantry, but I would have prepared some purple or brown rice with my meal otherwise! On another note, can we just take a moment to appreciate how beautiful the colors are? 😍❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
There are so many ways to give back to the planet, such as driving less, reducing plastic, taking shorter showers, and reusing food scraps that would otherwise be discarded. However, I feel that a lot of people tend to overlook the impact of going meatless once or more times a week when it comes to being environmentally friendly. There’s this assumption that you HAVE to be a full-fledged vegan or the TOTAL opposite. Taking small steps towards the vegan lifestyle still makes a positive impact. ⭐️👍
I want to take the time now to congratulate all my fellow vegans, but also those who are plant-based, vegetarian, pescetarian, flexitarian, or anybody else who goes out of their way to reduce their animal-based foods. 🌱 The priority is to spread awareness of what goes on both inside and outside the factory farming systems that are responsible for a massive deal of our greenhouse gases, water usage, land exploitation, etc.; every little action counts, so do the world a favor and give it some love. After all, it’s housing you and the life you have. ✌️💖
