And I’m sure that mostly everyone is tired of seeing snow, tired of going on Facebook and seeing more pictures of snow. But as bad as this winter has been for me (lost many work days because of it), I can’t even begin to imagine how rough it’s been…

Expanding Your [Vegan] Library!

“When you know better, you do better.” – Maya Angelou If I were to teach an intro to Animal rights, these are probably the books that I would choose to have read from front cover to back.
