Today is a special green tea report in collaborati Today is a special green tea report in collaboration with @livelifeelectrified on vegan car interiors! It’s a common misconception that leather is just a byproduct from meat production but that’s not true. Cows, calves, and bulls are killed, skinned, and exported between different continents just for leather. Dogs, cats, and even wild animals also get illegally poached to meet consumer demand for leather. Car leather suppliers use an average of three adult cow hides to produce just one leather interior. But, by the time they’re done cutting the hide, at least 20-25% won’t even be useable. On top of the animal abuse, there are environmental impacts. Livestock farming releases billions of pounds of methane into the atmosphere and millions of tonnes of waste is generated that contaminates the ground and water supply. Thankfully things are changing! The electric car market is growing and leading the way in ditching leather interiors! For example: Tesla, Ford, Mercedes, and Volvo are making all their electric vehicles leather-free. And that’s just a few of many more to come. Vegan cars (and electric cars) are becoming the new normal! Do you think vegan cars are the future? Follow Brittany of @livelifeelectrified for all the latest on sustainability through the lens of electric vehicles ⚡️
Our new vegan family Thanksgiving tradition - adop Our new vegan family Thanksgiving tradition - adopting turkeys from @farmsanctuary! This is honestly a painful time of year for vegans for obvious reasons 😭 As Beyond gets older and begins to understand what happens to turkeys (and other animals), this is a way to help him celebrate in his own meaningful way. He sponsored a flock of 5 turkeys on Farm Sanctuary, a safe haven for thousands of rescued farm animals. Farm Sanctuary fights the disastrous effects of animal agriculture on animals, the environment, social justice, and public health through rescue, education, and advocacy. This is a tradition you can implement with your own families every year 🥰 To many people a turkey is just a meal, but for a turkey, it’s her whole life. Have you ever adopted a rescued farm animal or visited a farm sanctuary? 🦃
Fr tho, who do we need to chat with to bring #Capt Fr tho, who do we need to chat with to bring #CaptainPlanet back? 😆 This next generation of kids can’t grow up not knowing how hard this song goes. Plus with everything that’s going on in the world, kids today need an eco hero. Even if it’s the @doncheadle villain version 😅 In the meantime, enjoy the Super Beyond version🦸🏾‍♂️🌎 Happy Halloween! Ps. His Captain Planet costume was a mix of thrifted + pre-loved pieces ♻️ What should Beyond be next year? Last year he was a Beyond burger.
Here’s EPISODE 28 of #BeyondApproved where I sha Here’s EPISODE 28 of #BeyondApproved where I share a vegan toddler recipe and Beyond’s reaction! Try this pumpkin penne pasta and show me how you #EatLikeBeyond. 1. Cook penne pasta according to package instructions. While that’s going, make the pumpkin pasta sauce. 2. For the sauce, sauté some minced garlic. Then add: - 1 can of coconut milk - 1 can of pumpkin purée - Iodized sea salt (can be any salt, but I prefer iodized as a source of iodine) - Coriander - Paprika - Cinnamon - Nutmeg 3. Add sauce to pasta and garnish with herbs of choice. Done! The key is to just get the sauce base right (coconut milk + pumpkin purée) and then you can use whatever seasonings you and your child love most or try the ones I added. Don’t be afraid to experiment though! Thassit! Try it and lemme know how it goes? 💚 . . . . . . . #healthykidsfood #vegandinner #blackvegan #vegan #veganbaby #veganfamily #blackboyjoy #plantbased #plantbasedbaby #vegantoddler #whatveganseat #whatmybabyeats #whatifeedmybaby #healthykids #toddlerlunch #toddlerfood #wfpb #veganmom #plantbasedmom #easytoddlermeals #vegantoddlermeals #plantbasedkids #veganparenting #vegankids #veganmama #pumpkinrecipes

If LA’s Mayor backs the vote, it will make Los Angeles the largest city in the world to uphold the Plant Based Treaty thus far. ✨Source: @thebeet 🌎 New research came out suggesting that a vegan diet could help with period pain, while eating meat makes it worse. It was found that those on a vegan diet had the lowest rates of inflammation, and eating a plant-based diet can reduce cramps long term. ✨Source: @vegnews 🌎 The University of Guelph’s Child Care Centre was the 2nd in Canada to have a fully plant-based menu back in 2020 and a recently released food sustainability report revealed that removing animal-based products from the menu cut their monthly carbon footprint by 65%. Not only are these toddlers and preschoolers helping the environment, they are thriving on a healthy, cruelty-free diet which could be an amazing case study that paves the way for schools and daycares all over the world. ✨Source: @uofguelph 🌎 Oceanly, the world’s first complete line of solid, 100% plastic-free, entirely EWG VERIFIED™ skincare launched this month by the Canadian brand Attitude. All vegan and cruelty free too of course. I will be trying this so keep a lookout in my stories. ✨Source: @attitude_living 🌎 And finally just in time for the holidays, America’s first ready-to-drink hard vegan egg nog alternative just launched by alcohol brand Misunderstood Whiskey. This sustainably sourced oat nog is blended with ginger spiced whiskey and dairy free oat milk. It’ll be the perfect addition to your vegan Thanksgiving and Christmas turnup. ✨Source: @misunderstoodwhiskey Which headline was your favorite this week?

3 Ways to Teach Your Kids About Recycling! There a 3 Ways to Teach Your Kids About Recycling! There are many recycling activities you can do with your littles, but here are just a few I’ve done with Beyond ♻️ 1. Have them help you collect your glass recyclables and take them on a trip to the closest glass recycling location. It will be a fun way for them to participate in the recycling process. 2. Teach them that loose plastic like plastic shopping bags should never go in a curbside recycling bin (unless you live somewhere where it’s accepted, which is rare). Take them with you to one of the many grocery and retail stores that do have recycling bins dedicated to loose plastic. Let them build up their confidence by allowing them to put all the plastic into the bin themselves. 3. Read them books about recycling and taking care of the earth in general. Books like these are designed to help teach kids the importance of caring for the planet in a way they can understand. And even if your kid isn’t old enough to understand recycling yet, building the foundation will help them carry these habits with them for life! ✨ TIP: I always use the Earth 911 website to enter my zip code to find the nearest recycling drop-off location (you can use this for ANYthing you want to recycle). What are some other ways to teach little ones about recycling?

REVIEW: EC30 Eco-Friendly Home Cleaning and Body Care Products

This post is sponsored by EC30. All opinions are my own. The cleaning industry generates a lot of long-lasting waste. These days household products come wrapped in plastic, toxins, and extra ingredients we don’t even need. Wouldn’t it be great if you could buy cleaning and body care products wrapped in eco-friendly packaging that won’t
