March of Dimes

There was a discussion on veganpeople about charities just a little while ago. It got me thinking about the March of Dimes, and since this is an anti-vivisection list I wanted to offer this link: http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=4045 It shows that the president of MOD made $553,000 for the most recent year on record, and that the organization had $234...

...how wonderful they are (and, let's be honest, they are), but a lot of what organic growers use, in place of chemicals, are animal products. Bone meal, blood meal, fish emulsion, manure. So, veganpeople who garden, what is your opinion on using manure in your garden? What about vermicompost? Would that be an animal product? I'm not looking to get flamed, I just want a little enlightenment. Many ...

acabo de descubrir esta comm O_O la verdad es que siempre he estado obsesionada con veganpeople y no me he molestado nunca en mirar si habia algo del veganismo en castellano, pero bueno, ahora es el momento :) me gustaría daros a conocer el blog que mi amiga y yo empezamos hace escasas 3 semanas: Vegmanifesto Estamos muy emocionadas y enganchadas a este proyecto, e intentamos actualizarlo...

Earth Balance

... and compassionate decision in this urgent matter. Sincerely yours, Thoughts? I've been having some trouble giving up this margarine, and everywhere I go see things advertised with not just margarine but brand-specifically Earth Balance. It's sort of like the vegan savior butter, only it's not a vegan company, its practices aren't vegan and it's not healthy. xposted to veganpeople

Thoughts on archiving this community and merging with veganpeople?

...to be quite a bit of cross-posting and redundancy between this community and veganism , I'm wondering what y'all would think of archiving veganism and redirecting our conversations over to veganpeople , since it's the more active community. View Poll: Archiving and redirecting Please feel free to elaborate in the comments, regardless of how you answered.  I'd love to ...

veganpeople moderators - final call for applications

This is a final reminder that applications are still open for veganpeople moderators.  We thought it would be a good idea to give this second reminder just in case some people missed reading the previous one.  Sorry if you feel the number of posts are excessive. See the previous post here for more details. To apply, leave a comment (they are screened) on this entry in vpmods...

Would you like to be a veganpeople moderator?

The moderators of this community are looking to increase our numbers! We're hoping to strengthen our moderator collective in preparation for next year when some of us may have to step back slightly due to other commitments.  (Even if, in reality, we happen to be just as active - lj is a great procrastination device!)  So, we've set up a post over in the moderator community with more information,...

Would you like to be a veganpeople moderator?

If so, tell us a little bit about yourself and why you think you'd be a good moderator for the community? We're a fairly relaxed moderating collective from all over the world (well, at least one of us is not in the US - does that count?) and, as we have had moderators leave recently due to other commitments, and because some of us foresee next year being quite busy for us, we feel it is a good ...
