Submission #18

"Minimize harm" is the theme of the newest inspiring and beautiful addition to the VC banner collection. 

Fellow vegan craftivist, Bea, from the UK, explains that she, "became vegan from vegetarian once [she] found out about the extent and scale of suffering in the dairy and poultry industries."

She added that, "to minimize harm means to me - a small step to avoid all animal products - but to do all an individual can."

Submission #16

                             

I received this wonderful submission made by Liz M. from England! 

Liz says, "my designs were inspired by the animals that I hope I play a part in saving by being vegan - not just the animals being slaughtered for food but also animals used in entertainment, etc. 

I became vegan at the age of 15 when I realized that the animals on my plate were no different from the animals we had as family pets. I couldn't be part of that anymore.

I like the idea of vegan craftivist projects because I want to feel useful and feel like I am still part of a movement even though I am physically unable to be part of a lot of actions. 

Everyone has something to give in life."

Submission #14

                             

Submission #14 was made by the lovely Mia, a 10 year old vegan and craftivism from the UK!

Mia says she is vegan for non-human animals, "because...everyone has rights and animals don't deserve to be killed." She chose to take part in this project, "because [she] loves crafts and wants others to know how good it is to be vegan!"

Submission #13

Lucky #13 is all the way from the UK by Amanda J.!

Amanda says, "I chose to take part because I love crafting and am vegan. I recently found out about craftivism and thought it was a great idea to promote messages in a non-threatening way."

She adds, "my design says "Animals are friends not food" as I believe it is wrong to eat and cause pain to animals for human greed. Many people say they "love" animals yet continue to eat them. I am sending the message that if you really love animals, then you wouldn't eat them."
