Join the "Vegans of Steemit" Discord channel

in #vegan6 years ago (edited)

Dear Steemians,

For those who don’t know me, I’m extremely passionate about animal rights and about the environment in general, and a little over a year ago, I’ve decided to stop eating animal products (at least most of them!).

Someone had pointed out to me that I was being a hypocrite for calling myself an animal lover, because even though I loved cats, dogs and other house pets, I was eating cows, pigs and chickens without giving it any further thought. That’s my story!

I regularly write about this topic, sharing my thoughts on what’s happening in the food industry, the challenges of converting to vegetarianism or veganism, and sharing vegan recipes. My dearest wish is “convert” more people like me, who haven’t realized yet that they are harming animals as well as the environment. My goal is to grow the vegan community world-wide by spreading knowledge and creating awareness via the Steemit platform.

I have read plenty of articles of fellow vegan steemians, and I feel a need to connect with them on a more personal level. Commenting on their articles is just not enough, and it often ends there unfortunately. If I feel this way, I’m sure many others also do. Therefore, I’ve taken the initiative to create a community on Discord called Vegans of Steemit.

Great initiative! Can't wait to see a serious crypto for helping the veganism and anti-specism causes.

there are so many cryptocurrencies for funny causes, there should definitely be one for such a great movement!

VegCoin! VGN consensus mechanism is Proof of Compassion by stimulating the economy and veganism movement (buying vegan products with the coin, giving to animal charities and so on). What do you think? ;)

I will definitely use such a coin! There was The Vegan Initiative (XVE) coin but it seems they gave up the project.

I had no idea about that :O

That's cool, do you have any links, a Google search seemingly doesn't bring up anything?

@veganrobot and I are currently working on such a project. The first part will be an interface for STEEM to gather up knowledge into an encyclopedia and people into a community. You can check the fundamentals here.

this is an amazing idea! thanks @evecab for everything you do!

Awesome initiative Eve! I am not that far yet (to be a vegan) but you know I love nature and really appreciate any efforts leading to protecting fauna and flora of our beautiful planet :) Happy to upvote this!

thanks @phortun!!! Feel free to join and chat =) I'm not a nazi about who can join and who can't. Thanks for supporting this!

Great project Eve! We support you in this :)

Go go go !

Thank you @futurethinker for your support =) Who knows, maybe we'll convert you too ahaha

that's great, I'd like to join the chat, I'm from Russia, hope to find some inspiration on how to spread veganism in a country that lags behind the West 10-15 years (like what is the best strategy in that point of time and that stage of development, what is the best thing to devote my limited time and efforts to)

It will take time, but I'm sure Russia will get there too. I remember when I was laughing at vegans a few years back...

This sounds incredible. Community is everything. Looking forward to checking it out!!

perfect, come join us @alexa.janell =)

Nice project @evecab, hope you have success on it. :D

Gracias Raquel =)

This is such a great idea. I got invited via a comment on one of my posts.

Resteemed for more visibility!
