Eco-Vegan Green Friday Deals


I hope your stomach is recovering from all the eating yesterday! Now that the stuffing is done with (pun intended), let's talk Green Friday.

First of all, I'm a big supporter of Buy Nothing Day. I believe one of the best ways to be eco-friendly is to consume less, only buying what you need. Black Friday creates a lot of unnecessary spending and anxiety - in the past I felt like I had to go shopping even if I couldn't think of anything I needed to buy. Step back from the mindset and gain some perspective.

However, Black Friday can be a good day to get deals, especially for holiday gifts, so here are a few from companies I support.
Robert Cheeke is offering 50% off of his new book Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness - it's only $10 today. This is a fantastic read for anyone interested in learning how to get in or stay in shape on the plant-based diet. 
Healthy Spot in West Hollywood is having a sale. I love this privately owned pet shop - they have lots of eco-friendly products and vegan dog food. Check out my review for more info.
Humanitaire is having a going-out-of-business sale from now until they close on December 27th - all items are 40-80% off. I am super bummed, but this is a great opportunity to get some of their amazing products. They'll be open from 11am-6pm.

I only listed deals that were sent to me, so if I missed something please email me or comment below and I'll add it.

What more tips on how to be green today? Check out my post from last year.

Thanks-Giving: Turkey Appreciation Day


Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you enjoy some delicious and at least slightly healthy food today. I'm celebrating by attending the Annual Vegan Potluck Picnic in Los Angeles. I'm bringing Apple Cinnamon Cranberry Quinoa, which is gluten and soy free.

Have I mentioned how much I love turkeys? Click here to read about my childhood turkey Friendly. And here are some recent photos of some adorable gobblers I met this year at Farm Sanctuary and Animal Acres.

Great Reasons Not to Eat Turkey on Thanksgiving (or anytime)


I just finished writing an article for Greenwala on Save a Turkey Day: Why You Should Pardon the Bird This Thanksgiving. Within it is an excellent link to an article called The Trouble With Turkey. I highly recommend you check both out to understand the negative effects the fowl has on our health and the planet.

Long before I became a vegetarian my family raised 2 turkeys, a male and a female.
