Repost from @gaia_is_i - Clearly, charity alone is not working to stop the global extinction crisis. It’s not just 🦍, but also 🦁 🐻‍❄️ 🐯 and almost every species on 🌍 that is experiencing a population crash, and rapidly heading towards the endangered species list, or worse... - While BOTH personal and political actions matter, there’s a 3rd element missing from the discussion about how to solve the climate emergency/extinction crisis; That’s the role of businesses and the 💵system that pretty much runs the world. - If we as consumers start creating a new arena of competition, by demanding that the companies we give our money to actually use some of their profits 💰 to GIVE BACK to the 🌎 that allows us all to exist, there could be potentially tens of billions of dollars every year 💸 going to conserving the planet’s remaining rainforests, and the uncountable number of animals who live within them. - I’m using 20% of the profits from my company, @vegan.brain.food to help protect both endangered species 🦍 🐘 🦏 and rescued farm animals 🐮 🐷 🐣, but I’m just a one man operation. - While it may be a long shot to expect that you might be able to buy a toaster in 2023 that gives a portion of profits to protecting the rainforest, why in the 🤬 is this not already the norm in the vegan food industry? - That’s the biggest thing I hope to achieve with Vegan Brain Food (other than giving Animal Defenders more mental and physical energy 🔋 to fight for Animal Liberation, and helping people not just to go vegan but to *stay* vegan). - What will have a much bigger impact 💥 than what we can donate directly is if we can start setting a new standard 🏆, inspiring vegans to DEMAND that the companies that we support actually give back to the animals. And whenever there’s competition, to only support the companies that do over the ones that do not. - If you’d like to know more about the groups fighting to protect the Congo Rainforest, and our fellow vegan primates 🦍 who call it home, you can learn more at VeganBrainFood.com/AnimalLiberation - #veganfortheanimals #veganfortheplanet #animalrights #animalliberation #veganpower #vegan
