Around the world we don't know exactly how many animals we kill each year. It's also a subject that often makes people feel instantly defensive - and yet it's a number we rarely think about. We understand people get emotional about this and that the topic can be nuanced (certainly we don't advocate every single human must stop eating meat; Indigenous peoples eat meat sustainably and many millions rely on it for survival and eat it locally without any factory farming or chemicals). Most of us though can agree that our industrial agriculture rates and environmental destruction due to this are absolutely out of control.
⠀
The New York Times recently reported that 65 billion chickens are consumed each year. The general estimate of land animals killed for food each year is 70 - 120 billion (given the NYT article, it would be toward this higher end). Other research shows anywhere from 800 billion to 2.3 trillion wild fish are killed each year. Up to 200 billion farmed fish are killed. That's just the common animals of mass we eat. The majority of land animals for our food are from factory farms (generally 90% or higher depending on the animal type though cattle can be 75%+ depending on the country).⠀
⠀
With 7 billion humans on our globe, if we ate humans at a rate anywhere near this we'd be dead, dead rather quick! Within a couple of weeks our species would likely be gone. We're heading toward 10 - 11 billion people and the richer people get, the more 'western' their diets become, the more red meat they eat. ⠀
⠀
If we all sat and thought deeply on how we go about eating animals we'd all come to a fairly similar consensus in our current environment. We encourage you to read up on factory farming, the industrialized food system and listen to The Green Pill on the Ezra Klein show. Ezra is great at talking rationally about complex topics and even where you don't agree, listening to him really helps in working out how we can speak about things constructively. Also, @iquitwaste speaks about food systems really well. This is a fight against the industrialization of food (meat production & monocropping); let's make sure our energies are focussed on that.
We absolutely love these, so simple to make, better for your skin and so much more affordable.

Traveling is stressful enough for any person but for the #zerowastetraveller it can become even more so when you think of all the things we need to avoid and anticipate.
.
That’s why these diy travel wipes have saved my life sooo many times. .
It’s ridiculously easy to prepare and super practical to have with you.
.
HERE’S WHAT YOU DO:
- A small cup of warm ( previously boiled) water.
- A teaspoon of (melted) coconut oil or olive oil. (I used coconut ) I found olive oil too greasy.
- A teaspoon of Castile liquid soap or baby wash / natural soap.
- 4 drops of lavender essential oil. (Optional)
- Mix well.
.
I soaked my little cotton rounds in the mixture, rolled them up and squeezed them into an empty soap tin, then closed with a lid. .
You can’t imagine how lovely and refreshing they are to wipe your face and hands with when you feel tired and groggy from traveling. .
Do you have similar #plasticfreealternatives for traveling?
Were glad we’ve got @leonardodicaprio on our side

Did you know that out of 1,773 arctic glaciers, 1,353 shrank significantly between 2000 and 2016
-
Climate change is heating up the Arctic faster than anywhere else, and sea ice is shrinking 14 percent per decade, and polar bears are starving as a result of it ❄️ -

One of my most favourite photographers in the world is @paulnicklen who took this amazing photo of a baby sea lion on his recent expedition to the Galapogos Islands.
When we see how beautiful nature is, how amazing our world is, how can we not want to look after this beautiful planet of ours?

This is the reality we're facing.
Many animals lose their habitats every year because of the climate crisis humans are creating. "Amstrup's own 2010 study projected that continued decline in sea ice would reduce the global population of bears by two thirds, to less than 10,000 by 2050. ... Polar bears are considered endangered in the U.S. and are listed as “vulnerable” by the IUCN, because their sea ice habitat is under threat from climate change."

Oil spills are extremely harmful to marine birds, mammals and fish
-
Since the iconic 1969 oil well blowout in California, there have been at least 44 oil spills, each over (420,000 gallons), affecting U.S. waters.
