4 simple vegan side dishes that won't have you in

4 simple vegan side dishes that won't have you in the kitchen all day on Thanksgiving.

🌎 Did you know animal agriculture is responsible for almost 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions?

🦃 Did you know 46 million turkeys are killed just for this holiday each year, most of which are babies who only got to live a short life in a crowded, dirty factory farm? 🥺

This holiday is about giving thanks for our lives, so consider sparing someone else's by cooking up an alternative main dish like vegan "meatloaf" instead 🙏🏽

Hey y'all 🙋🏽‍♀️ I'm speaking at #BlogH

Hey y'all 🙋🏽‍♀️ I'm speaking at #BlogHer Planet This Friday (Nov 20th)! Attendance is FREEEEE for you. If you’re an entrepreneur or influencer looking to launch & scale your sustainable business or lead a more eco-friendly lifestyle, tune in to @blogher for free using the 🔗 in my bio.

This mama-to-be ain’t taking any chances with her cleaning products! Household products come wrapped in plastic, toxins, and extra ingredients we don’t even need. So I switched to @ec30_enlightened_clean. [#ad]

What I like about #EC30 is they know sustainability is more than just being anti-plastic.

For example, did you know liquid cleaning products consist mostly of just water? I feel so deceived y’all. It's not necessary, because we have water at home! So EC30 removed water from its products.

NO WATER MEANS:
• No plastic bottles
• Lighter, more compact products to transport
• Fewer Ingredients
• No preservatives that are required to keep liquid products fresh
• No stabilizers, emulsifiers and fillers that are needed to keep liquid products as a stable liquid

FYI, less ingredients = less C02 emissions, because creating/transporting raw ingredients for liquid cleaners is the most significant contributor to C02 emissions! What the what?!

I ordered the “Try-It-All Kit” which comes with laundry detergent, toilet cleaner, surface cleaner, hand wash, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and face wash.

The packaging is made of 100% bamboo compostable materials. The products are just little lightweight swatches that dissolve in water--and the scent is heavenly.

If you decide to try it out, use code AshleyRenne10 to get $10 off!

What do you look for in an eco-friendly household product?

What started as our local pumpkin compost initiati

What started as our local pumpkin compost initiative evolved into a platform to teach regenerative sustainability - but what does that even mean?

Simply put: Sustainability calls for us to do less harm to the planet in an attempt to slow down the damage we're causing. Regenerative sustainability goes a step further - and seeks to replenish what was damaged instead of just slowing it down (One Example: Composting!).

🌱 Can you think of some more examples of regenerative sustainability?

I am the daughter of a Jamaican/Black American dad

I am the daughter of a Jamaican/Black American dad and immigrant Indian mom. @kamalaharris is the representation my sister and I never had growing up.

Powerful Black representation was a stuggle on its own, but Blindian or Jamindian (Black & Indian or Jamaican & Indian) representation, particularly in positions of leadership? Non-existent for us.

The world has a complex relationship with multiracial identity, often deciding for mixed people how they should identify instead of letting them have that choice. So it wasn't often that you saw mixed people in power embracing their multiple identities.

Is she Black? Is she Brown? Is she Indian? Is she Jamaican? Is she South Asian? Is she American? She's all of that. And it is her right to acknowledge it all.

VP-Elect Harris and her sister @mayaharris_ were raised to be proud Black women who also embraced their Indian heritage. Similarly, my sister @Jasminepennamma and I were raised Black because my parents knew that's how the world would identify us, and therefor treat us.

Being mixed, I've learned over the years that claiming blackness and recognizing my multiracial identity do not need to be mutually exclusive and no one has the right to police how I move or identify in the world. I am Black. I am Brown. I am Indian. I am Jamaican. I am South Asian. I am American. I am all of that. And I am proud of it. 🖤🤎🇯🇲🇮🇳🇺🇸

My favorite line from his victory speech. Thank you @joebiden and @kamalaharris for acknowledging Black people, marginalized people, and the need to unite ALL people whether they supported you or not.

For believing in science and social justice.

For addressing climate change, systemic racism, the pandemic, and all the other issues Tr*mp ignored.

For making my Aunty the first woman + Black/Indian Vice President!

Now let's get to work 👴🏻👩🏽 #JoMala

♻️ Every year millions of pumpkins get tossed in the trash after Halloween and Thanksgiving. So my friends @blackinthegarden, @brother.earthh, and I put together an initiative to rescue your pumpkins and turn them into compost.⁣

🌎 This year we're starting locally in Atlanta! The @wyldecenter heard our idea and didn't think we were crazy. Instead, they amazingly agreed to partner with us on our first project as our drop-off location!⁣
