Connecting with resources in the agricultural industry can help. The key for many is diversifying our food sources by supporting local growers for Economic, Environmental and Social Sustainability reasons. Who do you want to be your partner? To help you can look up information about a companies “Sustainability” arm.

Be Kind - Be Grateful Working our way to 100. Next 5 #74 – When you are the summer fair and you win a stuff animal playing games, look around and give to a child and ask them to name it for you and to keep good care of it for you. They will sleep well that night with their new friend. #73 – At your local community center or cork board at the grocery store, put up a message inviting people to give thanks to people that you know visit that location. Seeing your name unexpectedly on the board brings the biggest smile to their face. #72 – If you have old prescription glasses that you no longer use, consider giving them to Lions Club or another not-for-profit that will send them out to places where eyewear is hard to obtain and costly. #71 – There are migrate works that come to assist with agriculture farming and their only way to get around is typically a bike. Donate your old bike to these hard-working people that often do what we are not willing to do. #70 – With herb gardens at their peak, take extra herbs and make up little bundles to give to friends with a note attached to the mint saying, ‘you are worth a mint to me’. Leave on doorstep and keep them guessing on who this might have come from.

We understand animals are capable of experiencing positive emotions like joy and excitement. And we also know that they can feel fear, pain, and distress. Recognising animal sentience isn’t a purely theoretical or abstract concept. Suppose we accept that animals can feel pain and distress. In that case, we must take it as our responsibility to minimise experiences that harm animals like factory farming and the wildlife trade and entertainment industries. A small donation can do great wonders for animals.

I love these designs and animations for RSPCA. A great example of how animation can be incorporated to enhance a brands visual identity. #AnimatedBranding #BrandIdentity #MotionDesign

Over the past two weeks, Asheville has been flooded with love. From local, state, and federal agencies (yes, they are ALL here, but that’s a different post). Joe, Hank, Alice and I have been doing shifts at a grassroots collection and distribution site. The generosity is staggering. Thank you, thank you, thank you! But the needs are now evolving. Our site alone could no longer accept water, clothing, OTC meds, and much more. They have SO much. And that’s only one site. Other mountain areas (Boone, Marshall, Spruce Pine, and countless others) may need supplies, but Asheville now has what it needs to meet folks basic needs. However, restaurants can’t open bc there’s no water, and many want to pay their staff regardless. Farmers can’t sell to restaurants, so they’re donating their produce for distribution by food banks. And artists lost much — if not all — of their inventory in the flooding. - Consider donating to artists using the image below. - Support farmers here: https://lnkd.in/ewSNg39R - And if you have a truck of supplies, please direct it to a smaller town that doesn’t have as many resources as Asheville.

We don’t think you have to choose between donating smart and donating with your heart. Many people want to help end factory farming. However, the organizations that do the most to prevent the suffering of farmed animals often lack visibility and don’t always provide the same ‘fuzzy feeling’ as donating to, for example, your local shelter. FarmKind bridges this gap. We collaborate with experts to identify the most effective charities combating factory farming’s impact on animals and the planet. FarmKind enables users to split their donations between these expert-recommended, highly effective charities and their personal favorite causes. We provide a bonus on both types of donations, allowing donors to do the most good to combat factory farming while supporting causes close to their hearts. Our approach is inspired by Giving Multiplier. The work of the founders, Prof. Joshua Greene and Dr. Lucius Caviola, is really exciting. It suggests that this approach could not only significantly increase donations to truly effective charities but also lead people to feel both smarter and more empathetic about their donations.

🔥Gail Fuller full 💙support, and to all farmers doing the job🔥 ❣ No agriculture => no food => no culture => no humanity ❣ 📣 Farmers are contributing to feed millions of people during their whole lifes ! 📣WHAT A DIVINE & INCREDIBLE GIFT THEY ARE OFFERING TO ALL OF US. LETS REMEMBER IT EVERY TIME WE TAKE A BIT OF (SANE) FOOD...📣 📣On the top of which: let's go meet them, talk to them, reward them, organise us around them and support them any way we can. 📣Let's stop handing over our responsibilities to politics: they just care about having submitted by force (&/or finance) workers-farmers that they can tax. (the King's syndrome). 💭 Let's ask ourselves a very unusual question ⚡ ➡ Why do we, Humans, live in communities❓ Because like many other creatures on our Earth, we all consciously or unconsciously know that one cannot do it all alone. Ask that same question in the city areas, most people would either not understand what you mean, or may also not relate to the actual concept of "Community", or would look at you as if you were a crazy "hippy"... An incredible sign that we lost the link to our soils, our growers, our lands, and to what actually makes us Humans..! Then the 1st-and-foremost-most-important-thing for our "Culture" to be is "agri- culture", no AI or any other superficial topic. Let's take our responsibilities.
