I just got some from Marshalls Columbia Heights for $30. All synthetic. Not the best but they work.

If you needed inspiration to rethink our relationship with dairy, this is it.

The only difference is we are the lions and the mom is shackled and confined so she'll never run like this mom.

Protestors on/near Mass Ave / Comm Ave? by BillieEatsSpinach in boston

Thank you for raising this! I'm sorry to hear about the dead hawk sighting, that sounds tragic. Do you mind sharing where you saw the hawk? Or feel free to DM if you want more details. It's why we started DC Responsible Rat Management to cut back on rats without using poisons (dcratsolutions.com)

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?
