A truly fantastic speech and declaration. I encourage you to watch it regardless of your current belief.

The Charter for Compassion from TED Prize on Vimeo.

Compassion for all beings is a cornerstone, or more accurately, the keystone, of veganism…at least in my book. This message should be spread far and wide. If you are able (and agree) please pass it on.

Just passing along a beautiful and important message. The images in this video are just so stirring.

Support Fair Trade is the newest design to hit Veggie’s Shop! Inspired by its growing popularity (and our own buying habits), we’ve created this design to help spread awareness and support for the fair trade movement.

The base of the design is a heart, representing the compassion and admiration today’s small farmers deserve, yet rarely receive. Above the heart, two hands reach toward each other – and a common ground. The text spells out an important message: ‘Support Fair Trade.’

It’s easy to spot fairly traded goods…two images commonly found on fair trade products are the TransFair USA and Equal Exchange badges. Look for them the next time you’re shopping. It truly does make a world of difference.

I created this design rather quickly when asked to participate in CafePress’ Haiti Relief Effort Shop. All proceeds go to UNICEF earmarked specifically for aid to Haiti.
