My first day of my first year of college marked my official switch to veganism! I've had a plant based vegetarian diet for over two years, and now just seemed right for me. So many people in my dorm are curious about my lifestle and I've been slowly educating those who are interested in what veganism means to me, and how it can make you feel. Hopefully, I won't be the only vegan in my hall by the end of this year!

I've stop eating meat this year which I hope will contribute to a more enviorimental friendly planet. I also try making every option as friendly as posible. I buy fair trade, second hand, vintage or products that are organic. Also I want to stop using that much paper so I started wrapping gifts in newspaper and I've also used old notes from my notebook.

I just recently stopped eating meat! I bring my lunch in containers (even found one for my sandwich) in a reusable lunch bag.  I also bring my water in a stainless steel bottle.  I use my notebooks until they're absolutely finished instead of buying a new one for each class.

This is so amazing - and you are so amazing! I have been so inspired over the last couple of years after investigating how and what I am feeding my child is hurting her more than helping her. I am going back to school to study agriculture and botany and since switching to vegan my 2 year old daughter stopped throwing fits and is not as grumpy and her attitude is totally different. I am still trying to convince my husband to make the switch :)

I love your book and this blog! After reading The Kind Diet, I became vegetarian and  now I am in the process of becoming vegan. This year will be the first year that I will be making vegan-only meals in my campus apartment. I am so excited! I also walk to class and downtown instead of taking the shuttle or driving. I pack my lunch in a reusable sandwich container and reusable lunch box. I refuse to buy plastic water bottles because I know how bad they are for the environment. I use an aluminum bottle instead. I am also a member of an organization on campus that advocates for farmers markets to set up tables on campus in order for students to buy fresh produce weekly. I love that we can support the local farmers! I use makeup and hair care products that are not tested on animals. Later on in the semester, my vegan friends and I are going to take a trip to an Animal Sanctuary nearby. Thank you so much for creating this blog! It allows me to become informed about all the opportunities that are available to me to improve my health, save our environment, and help the animals. You truly are an inspiration to me.

Those tools seem to be the most beneficical for a busy college student! I have been on and off vegetarian since high school and now going into my fifth year of college I am full vegetarian and transitioning into a vegan diet. I picked up your book at my local library and couldn't put it down! I feel so much better both mentally and physically! I have always been ecofriendly and tried my best to do whatver I could for the environment. I recently saw your post on Alima makeup, ordered some and fell in love! I will never buy my old makeup again. I have been eyeing your ecofriendly tools and have them on my wishlist for when my budget will allow me to spend some extra money. I am looking forward to learning more from your book and website everyday as I continue to transition to a vegan lifestyle! Thank you!

I became vegan 14 months ago when I read your book.  It had a huge impact on my family.  My husband is vegan as well & our 3 kids are very compassionate about animals & the earth.  My 4 year old asked me this morning to throw out the cardboard from his applesauce into the recycling bin.  We've grown lots of our own produce from our backyard garden. We eat as much organic as possible. The kids use containers in their lunchboxes instead of plastic. Eating kind & wise & being earth friendly is just a way of life for our family.

Thank you so much!! I am so excited to use the eco-tools and show my friends how easy it is to be eco-friendly!!!!!
