Pig Blood in Cigarettes

That's 185 different INDUSTRIAL uses for a pig. If there is pig blood in cigarette filters, who knows what other pig parts are in everyday products. Keep in mind we're not talking about pig parts for human consumption (ie, hotdogs, lunchables, cat food), this is pig parts being used to make...stuff.

Pig fat in car paint. Bone ash for train brakes. Gelatin from pig skin and bones in bullets.

One little piggy goes a long way.

This Is Who We Aren't

How many times lately have you looked out at the world around you and thought, "This is not what I signed up for."? As many of you sense, we're at a tipping point where humanity must decide to continue on our current path or adapt. Evolve or stagnate. Wither or flourish.

Like so many others lately, I am choosing to step from the shadow of my habits and crutches - fast food, wasted time, indifference. I want to create, encourage, nurture a change in myself and in the people around me.

Healthy food, vibrant communities, clean air, pristine water - natural beauty. All these things that were present in our youth are taken for granted and allowed to take a back seat to legal wrangling, corporate greed and individual gain.

In this society, we get what we demand. Too many of us are still demanding the status quo. It's time to motivate those around you to go out and ask for what we all want - a positive sustainable future we can all feel good about.
