Before you dye those Easter eggs this year, remember the chickens who laid them, whether they are free-range and organic or not. So why not opt for some fun, animal-friendly alternatives? Farm Sanctuary has two links for you:
An Egg-Free Easter
and
Dyed Chicks? Peep Up!
Passover starts on Thursday, April 9th--will you be the only vegetarian or vegan at the Seder? It might seem a little daunting at first, since, as Jasmin Singer says, "...few holidays are as centered around food as much as Passover." Check out Passover without Sacrifice, full of information and recipes for a delicious, veganized--but still traditional--Seder plate.
If you've spent any time on Robson Street lately, you may have noticed the big anti-seal hunt poster in the window of LUSH Cosmetics. That's right--they've started a "Save Our Seals" campaign! Support them by adding your name to the LUSH petition, already almost 10,000 signatures strong: http://www.lush.com/saveourseals/petition/
And check out their fun "Baby Seal" soap and Charity Cream while you're there!

Great news: Israel is considering a ban on the production and sale of fur!
Do you support the idea of a fur-free Israel? Contact Israeli Knesset Member Nitzan Horowitz with this easy form and let him know.
