SUMMARY:Cooking club incubator: meet your kitchen mates!
DESCRIPTION:So you think getting together to cook with other plant-based enthusiasts is a great idea… but you haven’t started doing it yet? Time to get organized! \nThis Cooking Club Incubator session will be an opportunity for those who have been participating in the Sunday Morning Plant-Based Cooking Club group to share their experience (and recipes!)\, and for others to ask question and find their kitchen mates! I am hoping that 2 or more new cooking clubs can schedule their first workshop as a result. \nWe will either be meeting in a private location (Brigitte’s building amenity room) or at a local vegan establishment. Either way\, it will be close to Broadway and Cambie in Vancouver. \nI look forward to seeing you there! \nVOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTION: I am setting a $5 suggested voluntary contribution (to help with venue and Meetup fees)\, but do not let that stop you from coming.

The holidays always seem like such a struggle to maintain weight control for most people. I like to think of the holiday season as more of a creative opportunity!

And I will have a couple recipes to try\, and ideas to make the holiday season a favorite! \nHope to see ya!

SUMMARY:Fur Protest at Sidestreet Boutique\, South Lake Tahoe
DESCRIPTION:Join us to protest the sale of fur at Sidestreet Boutique in the Village Center (the mall next to Heavenly Village). Meet in front of Sidestreet Boutique. Posters and leaflets will be provided; feel free to make and bring your own if you prefer. For more info on this campaign\, please visit https://www.sidestreetcruelty.com/. (Note: while California has banned fur sales\, the ban doesn’t go into effect for more than 3 years.) \nWhy protest fur sales? According to PETA: \n1. Electrocuting fur-bearing animals anally and genitally is an agonizing slaughter method used frequently in order to limit damage to the fur. \n2. Eighty-five percent of the fur industry’s skins come from animals who were held captive on fur factory farms\, where they were crammed into severely crowded\, filthy wire cages. Many were later beaten or electrocuted—and sometimes even skinned alive. \n3. There are no penalties for people who abuse animals on fur farms in China\, which is the world’s largest fur exporter\, supplying millions of dollars’ worth of finished garments to the U.S. \n4. One billion rabbits are killed each year so that their fur can be used in clothing or for lures in fly fishing or trim on craft items. \n5. In China\, there’s a thriving cat- and dog-fur industry. Cats and dogs are bludgeoned\, hanged\, and sometimes even skinned alive for their fur. Their fur is often mislabeled and exported from China to unsuspecting consumers around the world. \n6. Fur farms harm the environment. Millions of pounds of feces are produced annually by U.S. mink farms alone. One dangerous component of this waste is nearly 1\,000 tons of phosphorus\, which pollutes nearby rivers and streams. \n7. There are no federal laws to protect animals on fur farms in the U.S. \n8. After an animal has been slaughtered\, his or her skin is treated with toxic chemicals to keep it from rotting and decomposing in the buyer’s closet. According to The World Bank\, the hazardous process of fur dressing is so problematic that the fur industry is now ranked as one of the world’s five worst industries for toxic-metal pollution. \n9. Although most animals killed for their fur are raised on fur farms\, millions of raccoons\, coyotes\, bobcats\, beavers\, and other fur-bearing animals are killed every year by trappers. The steel-jaw trap\, which the American Veterinary Medical Association calls inhumane\, is the most widely used trap. It’s been banned by the European Union and a growing number of U.S. states.
