Title

The Vegan's Notebook

Description

This site aims to provide organization for information about vegetarianism, including critical theories of meat consumption, environmental impact, and personal health effects. Much of the information available via the internet on these topics is not coherent, or written from a non-vegetarian viewpoint, or addresses only one of the points. One of the most common questions asked of vegetarians by omnivores is a variation of "which sort are you?" as if there is no overlap or consistency. This site also counters the perception that vegetarians are generally motivated by illogical arguments, by showing the logical framework presented by a variety of sources. In reality, reading existing vegetarian writings is the most consistent method that people have given up their animal consumption. This site reflects the things I've looked for as Internet resources and information (or rumors) that I've heard or read. If you're interested in vegetarianism, hopefully it saves you some time. So, please let me know if something is presented less efficiently than possible or nagging questions remain unanswered. I have summarized some groups of information, along with pointers to background theories as explained by experts. When information calls for the viewpoint or experiences of a vegetarian, I've stated my own directly. I'll continue to expand this set of pages over time, perhaps continuously.

YES! Youth Empowered Solutions

Description

Youth Empowered Solutions (YES!) believes this world needs the input of young people. As an organization, we provide youth with skills and critical awareness about the social norms and policies that affect them. We connect them to the issues and provide them with the opportunities to get involved in solutions. We also provide adults with training and technical assistance so that they can be better allies to empowered youth. Vision: A world where empowered youth leaders work alongside adults to create positive change within their communities. Mission: Change policies and social norms affecting the well-being of young people through youth empowerment. Basic Strategy: We hire youth to be part of our staff. Most of our decisions are made with them at the table. When youth work on a specific topic, they first must understand and work on a solution themselves. Whether they make a presentation to a school board about tobacco free school policies or write a letter to the editor on the topic, our youth get first hand experience and then they present that knowledge to their peers. In a cycle of learning, acting and inspiring others, they create a force that ripples far beyond their own lives.
