Going Vegan?
For years, I've been an active member of People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PeTA). Joining the campaign against Benetton, and joining the fans swooning to buy their products after the boycott was being uplifted. PeTA has been open for member, vegan or not, but of course they will try their sheer best to influence you to go veg. For years I decided not to, and to remove myself from the group. It's just that, sustainable consumption doesn't just mean going veg, it means not using leather, not using computers cause a hardisk part were made of jellyfish, and all that heck.
As a UNV, we also have partnered with Organic Producer's Trade Association, a group of old ladies going organic. Partnership means tours, so we had an organic tour last December and I sure enjoyed it. Feeling clean and all that is something good. We went to Mariveles and Subic for the Organic tour, myself, an officemate and fellow UN Volunteer from Korea Keun Tae Kim and Yong Woo Kim. I know naming them did'nt matter cause thousands of Koreans have the same exact name, and 70% of them uses kim as suffix. Duh.
It's amazing how the old ladies we are with are so organic they actually smell like leaves. They even used organic perfumes, organic slippers and organic hairgels. However on our way back to Manila, we ate at Max Restaurant.
