A wholefood plant-based lifestyle for personal health, planetary health and future personal health? Yes, it really is that simple.

Absolutely crazy, dairy farming is damaging rural communities and the environment!

Meat and dairy industries produce food for export but pollution at home, experts argue

A long-awaited NZ$700 million package to clean up New Zealand's rivers and lakes has disappointed some of the government's expert advisers – especially a delay on setting clear pollution limits.

If you don't question or take the time to understand, you're merely heading down a false path, led by corrupt leaders that tell you what you want to hear.
Be informed.

It's pretty simple really.

Much like swine flu, bird flu, and SARS (which was also caused by a coronavirus linked to a Chinese wet market), COVID-19 spread from animals to humans, starting with those who worked in or frequented the market. This is yet another reason why we should all be vegan.

When we think about waterway contamination in New Zealand, many immediately point the finger at dairy farming. Whilst it's definitely a major contributor in parts of the country, the other big factor has to be urbanisation, and the resulting sewerage and industrial overflows, stormwater, and rubbish, which all lead to heavy metal and PCB contamination. And let's not forget the radioactive remnants of nuclear bomb tests... oh, but wait, radioactive water from the Fukushima plant continues to flow into the ocean.
A point that Dr Mike Joy raised was that of all the mammal biomass in the world, just 2% is wild. So yes, if we stop consuming animal-based products, wild animals could increase to some degree. However, going vegan doesn't address all the poaching for rhino horns (they've just about wiped them out!), elephant tusks, shark fins, whaling, cat fur, etc. As well as the increased demand for palm oil which affects the orangutangs and other species. There's also areas of conflict, such as in Africa where they kill gorillas and other wildlife to feed the soldiers. And there's irresponsible urbanisation.
Quite depressing when one really thinks about the state of our ecosystem.

Norwegian oil-giant Equinor has just been given environmental approval to drill for oil in the rough seas of the Great Australian Bight from Australia's offshore oil and gas regulator NOPSEMA. This is an absolute shocker as this unique part of the ocean will be under significant threat!

Plastic is plastic. Recycled or plant-derived plastic is still plastic. They all still end up in rivers and oceans, and on the beaches. There are smarter ways.

By 2050, there could be more plastic than fish in the sea. Ten tons of plastic are produced every second. Sooner or later, a tenth of that will end up in the...

This is just awful.
The way we consume plastic needs to change. The way we consume needs to change. The way we behave on this planet needs to change.
All of our Fitness Locker training camps include a plogging session - picking up rubbish while jogging. As a business, we're a monthly contributor to Sea Shepherd New Zealand helping them do even more for the environment.
But we need to get to the root of the problem. Rather than continually mopping up the floor, we need to turn the tap off!
What are you doing to influence the bigger corporates to change?

How materialistic and self-indulgent has this world become! When the Notre Dame was burning, the world's media covered every moment of it and billions of dollars/Euros flooded in to restore it, just so we can continue to capture our Instagram shots.
Right now, the lungs of our plant have been burning for 3 weeks and yet hardly anyone knows about it, NZ's media certainly doesn's seem to care much... but that's ok, more land for more cattle farming to destroy the world further!! 🤯😡🤬
