Going vegan wouldn't affect the woods or water, if anything vegans consume more water. Js
This is actually really untrue!!!!! This topic isn’t even arguable. On a vegan diet i am saving around 1,100 gallons of water each day compared to the average meat eating diet!!!
You would think that vegans take up more money because the plants we eat need to be watered but in reality when someone is eating an animal the animal needs plants to eat and a cow can eat A LOT more than i can on a daily basis and also drink a lot more! So on a diet where someone is eating animals, water is being used to grow what the animals are eating and drinking, as well as all of the water used in the process of turning a living creature into a dead piece of meat for people to eat!
Each year the animal agriculture business uses 34-78 TRILLION gallons of water each year!!
56% of the water in the US is used just to grow the food for livestalk to eat (this doesn’t even include what is used in the factories)
20-33% of the worlds fresh water is used for animal agriculture
To make one pound of edible beef it takes 2,500 gallons of water
To make 1 pound of eggs it uses 477 gallons of water
To make 1 pound of cheese it takes 900 gallons of water
To make 1 gallon on milk it takes 1,000 gallons of water
And as for wood/forests/land use!!
Animal agriculture is the leading cause of deforestation
For each cow in the animal industry 2-5 acres of land are used- this land used to be a forest before it was clear cut

Most, if not, all of us have an encounter with someone who’s at least a bit of a psychopath or sociopath. We usually find out afterwards, but sometimes you can tell nearly straight-away by their qualities that they’re not the most mentally stable person. Psychopaths and sociopaths are a lot more common than you may have thought. In fact, the people you would’ve never thought that were psycho or sociopaths can in fact be either of those two or even both!
Here are 6 unmistakable signs to tell if someone is a socio/psychopath so you can know in advance next time you meet one.
In 1994, there was a study in which 25 non-psychopathic controls asked 25 psychopaths to attribute emotions to a story protagonist. The only emotions the psychopaths felt were happiness and indifference, failing to feel emotions such as guilt, sadness, and embarrassment when expected. It’s a common misconception that they can’t feel emotion, as they can, in fact, feel happiness.
According to HealthyPlace.com, sociopaths, a little differently than psychopaths, “view their world as their party” and “can cry if they want to”. But, like psychopaths, they can’t feel remorse, and, with few exceptions, don’t feel, and high-functioning sociopaths can fake emotion really well and are very manipulative! Their insincerity’s part of…

Being in an abusive relationship is like trying to hold the ocean in a fishbowl, and feeling guilty when it cracks. Leaving is like drinking the water. It’s nasty and overwhelming. Part of you feels like you won’t be able to survive it, and when you do you still feel it in your stomach for days to come, but at least you’re not holding it anymore. Eventually, it will become diluted by everything else in your life, and all that will be left is the pain that comes from the knowledge of what you once tried to hold, and the after-effects of the scaring the salt water left on the lining of your stomach.
It’s messy, and it’s painful. It will be one of the ugliest things you’ll ever go through, but in the end, you’ll be proud of yourself for making it through. You may not even know until you decide to leave that it counts as abuse. It can be a lot like sitting blindfolded, as your house burns around you. There is a period, when you think the smoke is just bad cooking, but then you feel the fire.
From emotional to physical abuse, the emotions and recovery tend to ring the same, but if you live with your abuser, the first initial steps will be different.
If you live with your abuser, it’s best to make a plan to leave, including where you will be staying after (whether it be a friend’s house or shelter). If your abuser is physically violent, you may want to pack in secret. Take any personal belongs, and important documents such as school records, birth certificates, etc. One way to do this more discreetly would be to…

There is obviously so much more happening around the world, this is just a some. Please reblog and share to spread awareness!
All negative disharmonious conditions are sublime siddhis, since negative conditions intensify the yogin’s experience, since one understands the true state of negative conditions without avoiding them, train in them, maintain that, and practise until coming to the conclusion of experience and realisation, just as a good horse is encouraged by a quirt.

1. Listen carefully when others are speaking. Keep your mouth shut – and focus totally on them.
2. Never, ever talk over other people. This is disrespectful – and a real turn off.
3. Even if the person leaves an hour between each word, resist the temptation to complete their sentence for them.
4. Don’t interrupt - let the other person finish. Then, acknowledge what they’ve shared before adding your own thoughts.
5. Paraphrase or summarise what’s just been shared. It shows that you have listened – and are keen to understand.
6. Maintain good eye contact as this says you’re interested, and the speaker and their story are important to you.
