¤ Sanctuaries ¤

In our latest episode, Sarah () talked about two sanctuaries.

1. located in a beautiful 10 acre site in rural Kent, UK.
They were established in 1994 by the late Marion Eaton and in the following years they have rescued upward of 3000 animals. Their mission is to offer a lifelong, no-kill, free-roaming, safe-haven, forever home to unwanted, neglected and abused non-human animals, while educating about animals, veganism and ecological sustainability ❤

2. is a newly established animal sanctuary located on an 18 acre site in the rural Midlands of England. Their mission is to offer a lifelong, no-kill, safe haven and forever home to abused and unwanted animals.

These two sanctuaries both do amazing work for the animals so make sure to check out their page if you don't know them already 😊

Such an important post from Seaspiracy - sign the petition if you haven't done it yet💜

Reposted from Whales are the unsung heroes of the ocean!

Whales play a massive role in fighting climate change and one whale is worth THOUSANDS of trees in carbon capture!

Whale p**p also helps phytoplankton to grow.

These microscopic plants absorb more CO2 than four Amazon Rainforests!

On top of this they also contribute 50-85% of all oxygen in our atmosphere.

But whales need our help.

Since whaling and industrial fishing, whale populations have dropped drastically.

We must protect and preserve whale populations from the many human-made dangers in our seas.

Sign our petition to help protect 30% of the oceans by 2030:

Shift to a plant-based diet.

¤ Cow's Milk Alternatives: what can you use? ¤

There are so many cow's milk alternatives now that there is no excuse to keep drinking someone else's milk!! 🐄 🚫

That said, it can be hard to choose which one to go for! Here's some tips to help:
▶️ Try different brands and different types of milk so you can see which one you like best because they can vary greatly plant-to-plant and brand-to-brand 🥜
▶️ Buy fortified ones to make sure you get the right amount of nutrients too 😊 (at the beginning at least)
▶️ Buy organic whenever possible as it is much better for your health and for the planet 🌎
▶️ Check for unnecessary ingredients which won't be very healthy in the long run like oil, guar gums or carrageenan.

▶️ The main options are generally:
▪️ Soy milk
▪️ Oat milk
▪️ Almond milk
▪️ Rice milk 🍚
▪️ Coconut milk 🥥

▶️ Other options can include: h**p milk, pea protein milk, hazelnut milk, walnut milk etc.

▶️ My favourite one is the unsweetened soy milk by Natura (in Canada) because the list of ingredients is simple: filtered water, whole organic soybeans, natural flavours - everything else are the added vitamins and minerals.

▶️ The other option which is less costly but can take longer is making your own plant-based milk! 🌱 I've done it many times and I use my Instant Pot Ace Plus blender for it. I find it very easy: you just have to add the ingredients, press the right button (soy milk, nut/oat milk or rice milk) and wait for it to be done. Then you strain it and voilà, your milk is ready 😊
▶️ There are other plant milk makers out there which don't require straining so you can also check out those if that something you want to try!

Which plant-based milks have you tried or would like to try? Let me know in the comments below ⬇️⬇️⬇️
