 Few
people realize the far-reaching environmental, health and ethical
implications of the choices that they make every day. Who would have
thought that a simple hamburger could have political and environmental
repercussions felt around the world! Or that the shampoo you use could
have been tested on thousands of animals.
The reality is, many of us truly want to have
a lasting and positive impact on the world around us. But this process
can only really begin by examining the ways in which we live our
lives, the products that we choose to consume, and the origins of
those products.
It is often said that knowledge is power. And
to the compassionate consumer, knowledge is the power to change.
What
you can do...
Compassionate living really does begin at
home. It can be as simple as choosing to buy a different brand of
toothpaste, and as exciting as changing the foods you eat. From
the foods we eat, to the products we buy, to the clothes we wear,
and the ways in which we treat our companion animals, each decision
we make has an impact on those around us. Realizing this fact is
the first step in choosing to walk more lightly on the planet.
In this section, you will find links to valuable
resources that will give you the tools you need to live compassionately.
Please take the time to read the information, and pass on the information
to friends and family.
Thank you for being a real friend of the animals.
