Go vegan!
The easiest and most effective thing you can do to show your personal commitment to animals and the environment is to give up consuming animal products and byproducts. Going vegan directly saves dozens of animals every year (the average person in the U.S. eats 40 chickens a year). By going vegan, you are also helping to stop rainforest and top soil destruction (cattle grazing is a leading cause of this), water pollution (animal agriculture runoff is devastating local bodies of water), and the destruction of wildlife habitat.
If you are new to veganism, find a vegan friend or group. You can find vegan starter kits and other great resources at:
TryVeg.com
ChooseVeg.com
VeganOutreach.org
You can find recipes at:
VegCooking.com
ThePPK.com (Post-Punk Kitchen)
And online communities can be found at:
VeganRepresent.com
ThePPK.com
VeganFreaks.net
This is an ongoing pledge that should be fulfilled as often as possible.

I went vegan 2.5 years ago after watching the documentary "Earthlings" (free to view on www.earthlings.com or google videos) and I have never felt better. Discovered afterwards that I had a lactose intolerance all my life (thought i just had a bad digestive system), have more energy and feel so much better that I am not contributing to animal exploitation.
There are more delicious things to eat than I thought there were going to be, and I cook much more than before, and a lot more varied food.

We need to start at home when we are talking about saving the animals from cruelty or not buying products from companies that test on animals! Need to not buy leather or suede or silk! We must be the change we want to see in the world-Ghandi

Thanks Soodle Billy for recommending this site! Since May of this year I have been a strict vegetarian, and for the most part vegan. I'm trying very hard to give up cheese. Milk, ice cream and yogurt were easy, but cheese has been a challenge. This is a reminder to me to hang in there!

Allright Olivia White....I made it to the "Go Vegan" site.....Now what in the heck do I do????? I'm one minute into the thing and I sure was a meat lover but I sure am an animal abuse hater. HelP! ! ! I'm not the best in the Kitchen as it is but I sure know how to fix me up meats so somebody show me something. I'm going to do this. I am visually impaired . . . pretty bad, I'm new to care2 site and this site. I have my visual aids set up for my e-mail site so if you have webb sites to offer me or recipes please send them to my Dustydebandi@att.net e-mail address so I can use my visual aids and also print out the information for later on. Thanks to you all for you help.

Ive been vegan for 3 yrs., and it is a wonderful way of life. I was vegetarian for many yrs., and finally made the switch to complete veganism. It is the best decision I ever made. Animals are not "food", they are friends!

I used to be a vegetarian - for two years - but then I was lured back to consuming animals and animal by-products. Finally, yesterday, after much conteplation (months of it) I decided to fully convert to veganism! I feel great! And SO much healthier! I did this mostly for animal rights, my dislike for the inhumane meat processing practices in this country (see video Meet you Meat, and read Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan) and for my health.

After 50+ years... it all finally fits! Health, peace and compassion. Being vegan is about respecting the living world.

I will pass this on and hope everyone else does too! :)
