Late to the party, but I love the greenwashing thing!! I find a lot of products which claim to be “pure” and “natural”, then have a list of chemical products the length of your arm on the back. I think of myself as an ‘environmental vegan’ (if such a thing exists!), so try to use all homemade/wholefood items (food and household) as much as possible, but it is a source of frustration for me that these companies are jumping on the green bandwagon to only make a profit, by deliberately mis-selling their toxic piles o’crapola. No ethics involved, and it cheats everyone, including the planet as a whole.

A little late here, but I’m throwing in my vote for the report back on greenwashing! One of the many things I like about BA is that you focus on the wider picture of veganism, which I find incredibly interesting and important, despite recently admitting that a vegan diet is just impossible for me – so I would really love to see your thoughts on that. “How the hell does one respond to greenwashing” would also be good info to have but that’s a way larger scope and sounds like a lot of work you might not have time for at the moment.

I’m starting grad school in the Fall and am really excited/nervous – so glad to hear it is a great learning-stretching experience for you :)

I’ve been singing it to Waits as his lullaby since the day he was born. Such a beautiful song!

EXACTLY! What’s that saying – “Be the change you wish to see in the world”

Or maybe, “Be the blogger you wish to see on the Internet”

Yeah, such a disappointment. I guess that just means it’s time we start holding “health” companies accountable!
