Petrol thuggery. Now that's a word to add to your vocabulary!⛽️ How are you holding up lately? I know. It's kinda overwhelming, confusing, and scary to some, even.

Happy #Veganuary!!

Sorry to ruin your holidays this early, but before wrapping up this year, I'd like to gift you all with some fine wisdom about Holiday Turkeys and Food Waste.

I'm still a vegan...but not a perfect vegan. I realized I never have been, and never will be. In this episode, I reflect on my evolving views on Veganism. I still firmly believe in the philosophy behind Veganism, the ethical, environmental, and health benefits of adopting a vegan diet --but I also share my reasoning for becoming more flexible in my approach, given that we live in an imperfect world where we strive to be better. ----- Youtube episode: https://youtu.be/otFiIqlCu2o Instagram/Twitter: @MakePeasNotBeef Website: https://www.makepeasnotbeef.com Be sure to follow me on social media and give me a shout!

After my awesome vacay in Mexico, I'M BACK! First order of business: grocery shopping

Asia's vast population and the frequency of natural disasters ensure climate change will have a devastating impact on the region. Yet it is also a seedbed for the human activities that cause global warming. One question keeps popping up in the center of all this: Do Asians care about climate change? To help me answer this question, I invited an all-Asian inter-generational panel: my good friend and fellow millennial - Rob @robchanau, the best boomer in town - Bill @btung64, and the unstoppable gen-Z and upcoming sustainable leader - Toby @imtobyy.

First of all, what is IPCC?

You ask and you shall receive!
