People's Climate March San Diego

It was a great to see so many San Diegans
concerned about the environment yesterday
#ClimateMarchSD #ClimateMarch

And let's not forget that we can fight global warming
and climate change with our forks 3 times a day!

Animal agriculture causes 51% of greenhouse emissions.

Half of ALL the water used in the US goes to raise animals for food.

The UN has asked many times governments to promote
a diet free of meat and diary, please do your part!
It is as easy as choosing a veggie burger over a beef or chicken one!

More mindbogglingly facts about animal agriculture & our planet 

Some of the posters me & my friends made yesterday for the March!

Global Warming: MEAT THE TRUTH

How to stop global warming?
This extraordinary movie made by
the Nicolaas G. Pierson Foundation from Holland
shows us the whole and bitter truth about
the influence of the meat industry
on our climate and on the devastation of our environment,
water and air.

James Cameron is a vegan

James Cameron is probably one of my favorite vegan celebrities

"[But] I went 100 percent plant-based – vegan – two-and-a-half years ago.
I’ve got tons of energy. I’m fitter now. I’m running farther than I did
when I was in my twenties. So I’m good to go.”

James Cameron’s Vegan Diet Gives Him ‘Tons of Energy’ 

He does so much for the animals!
For the planet!
Ah, and he makes some cool movies too!

Foster Orphan Elephants and Rhinos

It's been a year since I started fostering
Elephant orphan SHUKURU and
Rhino orphan SOLIO,

Please read more on SOLIO's story
and her friend Maxwell the blind rhino
is really something else!

It is great to received news from
The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust monthly about their lives,
Please consider fostering a rhino or elephant,
they are beautiful animals on the verge of extinction.
This trust does a wonderful work!

Many athletes choose a vegan diet because recovery times
between trainings are faster & easier, well,
I am not an athlete but I sure feel healthier

Check out Mac Danzing amazing video!
He is not a 'skinny hippie' kind of guy eh?

Pirates and slaves

Last week I went to the exhibition of Real Pirates

#RealPirates at #theNat San Diego Natural History Museum 

this was an exhibit based on a real pirate ship that sank in Massachusetts, the Whydah...
http://www.sdnhm.org/exhibitions/past-exhibitions/real-pirates/
I learn so much about pirates and I turn to admire them,

they robbed mostly Slave Ships,

then they set free the slaves and make them part of their crew,

most pirate ships had at least a 60% crew of slaves,

indian americans, latin people,

and they always split their gold in equal parts &

had elections to choose captains...

I learn also a lot about slavery...
the slave ships, now the resemblance between

human slavery and what we do now

with the animals was an uncanny painful part

#slavery #animals

before it was humans

now it is animals

overcrowded and abused

entire families suffering abuse for others profit
