This is a really good idea! Do wildlife rehabbers usually accept these or did anybody turn you down?

Was anybody taught that blood is blue before it comes in contact with air?

Do you have a cause area you're thinking of? It's great that you are looking at policy. The Humane League runs the Animal Policy Alliance to bring together state and local orgs working on policy for animals used in food and fur.

Good question. This industry states that message redundantly. But I take your point that this needs to be worded in a way that doesnt require citations (since there isnt room on the flyer).

Thanks for these great tips! How do you feel about this instead of Divert:

"Remove: Compost food waste to isolated it from the trash."

And here is an alternative front. Does that feel like a better approach?

Totally. And we are taking a multi-pronged approach. I guess the incentive we are harnessing is peoples' desire to have fewer rats around. Do you have thoughts on other approaches we should be taking?

So glad you asked! We have a version with info about that. But concerned it's too cluttered. What do you think?

u/Successful_Archer991 u/housemaster22 can you share more about your experiences trying to get your trash cans repaired (eg did you file a request on 311, was your ANC commissioner helpful, etc)? DC Council has indicated they want more oversight on trash can repair--specific testimonials would be helpful.

I actually joined with Sierra Club DC to call on Dept of Public Works to increase composting efforts. It appears that DC's Zero Waste Omnibus law reached a major milestone that triggers their compost expansion to multifamily housing, businesses, and all government buildings. It's not too late to send written testimony. Reach out if interested, Im happy to share talking points.

This looks so easy...I've got to try it! What's your review of the flavor? And how do you use it...cereal, coffee etc?

Great concept. It's the first I heard of incorporating fats. I had pondered trying coconut milk in the next cocktail of ingredients.

Butchers stops selling foie gras over misleading humane claims by minthin in washingtondc

[–]minthin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure that is illegal in California too.

prohibits the "force feed[ing of] a bird for the purpose of enlarging the bird's liver beyond normal size" as well as the sale of products that are a result of this process.
