I haven't ate meat in over a 2 years and honestly, I don't really miss it. There are so many great alternatives that are way better for the environment. It makes me happy.

Grace Cummins 4/12/2021 8:24 AMI saw this really cool thing the other day. It was these "concrete blocks" (not actually concrete) that were made out of these plants and fungi. They said that the fungi could process carbon and help clean the air. -
