A vegan lifestyle may not be hard, but that doesn’t mean having a little help isn’t a good thing. Like anything, mobile apps can be an invaluable resource for quick information that makes going about your day that much easier. These apps can let you know if food is or isn’t vegan, tell you where to dine out, or help you with new recipes to try.
How do you know if the food you’re buying is vegan? It might seem obvious at first, but as soon as you start digging in, you realize the rabbit hole goes pretty deep. The unfortunate fact is: there are plenty of unnecessary animal products in food, especially anything processed. It’s something we’ve accepted for way too long, and it’s become so commonplace that, here in the States, manufacturers are even able to label products as “dairy-free,” even if they contain trace milk ingredients. Sorry, people with allergies.
Plastic sucks. The 20th Century’s miracle material has become one of the 21st Century’s biggest problems, and people don’t seem all that willing to accept that reality. Plastic is responsible for a sizable chunk of carbon emissions, both form production and by nature of being a petroleum product.
It’s also flooding the natural environment with toxins and garbage that literally will not degrade for at least a thousand years. Plastic kills wildlife and destroys habitats. There is no upside, save for making big corporations even richer. Sorry to be blunt here, but once you realize just how nonsensical our widespread use of plastic is, it’s hard not to be more than a little annoyed by it.

You may be surprised to learn, that hemp is one of the most versatile plants on Earth, and it’s used for countless purposes, including more than a few that you probably never thought about.
In the US, hemp was just reintroduced as a legal crop not too long ago. Since then, the amount of uses for hemp has exploded. It wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to think that, in the coming years, the new and innovative uses for this remarkable plant will continue to grow.
Who doesn’t love beer? Thanks to the craft beer boom, people have access to an unprecedented selection of new types of beer from around the globe. New breweries are popping up every day, and people are taking a greater interest in their beer. But, what does this beersplosion mean for the environment? I’m sorry to say, it isn’t all good.
CBD is everywhere. Ever since it exploded in popularity, CBD products have been popping up in even the most unlikely places. So, why has this new cannabis product gained so much notoriety? What can CBD actually do?
When you think about reducing your impact on the environment, shaving isn’t something most people consider. That should probably change. Like many things, the modern way of doing it is clumsy, wasteful, and yes, destroying the environment one ridiculous multi-bladed shaving contraption at a time.
Thankfully, that doesn’t need to be the case, and a simple solution can be found in the not-so-distant past. You can get a better shave for less money, while still doing the right thing for the environment.
Going vegan is super hard, right? That’s what plenty of people think, but is it really? The answer is different for everyone. After all, we don’t all live in the same places, have the same habits, or the same finances, but most people are surprised to realize that going vegan is relatively painless.
Sustainable living isn’t just about one thing or another. Giving up plastic straws is great, but it’s only one small mart of a much larger lifestyle change. Otherwise, you’re mostly making a hollow gesture to keep with the times.
Lifestyle change means you need to change the way you live –all of it– even your coffee habit. For a lot of people, the way they drink coffee is a disaster. They use disposable cups, drink low grade beans that weren’t sustainably farmed, and rely use other disposables, like filters. Even though the picture isn’t so great, there is a reasonable solution.
