#ThisWeekI: Humane League Edition

Happy Monday! Today’s #ThisWeekI guest(s) couldn’t decide who wanted to participate the most, so we instead focus on their local nonprofit as a whole instead.

The Humane League is a farm animal welfare organization that advocates for reducing meat consumption for the benefits to individual health, the animals, and the environment.

#ThisWeekI – Humane League Edition:

• We participated in Meatless Monday, our fav.
• kept the lights off in the office and relied on natural light instead.
• Distributed online versions of our literature, including Vegetarian/Vegan Starter Kits, instead of hard copies.
