Help a vegan café open in México City

by

Our duty as compassionate people is to not just refrain from eating and wearing animals, but to also support independent business owners who are doing their best to promote veganism.

Shaya and Julia, a Mexican-French couple, are opening a permanent home for their Café Vegetal coffee and cake business and you can be a part of this huge adventure.

Ever since they met, Shaya and Julia have shared the same dream of having a place to showcase their passion for coffee and vegan food (especially desserts!). After one year of offering their products in markets and bazaars, the project has grown and they have decided to venture into the opening of their first store.

Just like anywhere on the planet, opening a vegan business in México City costs money so we all need to come together to get this new venture over the line.

Café Vegetal is running a Kickstarter campaign to help cover some of the costs associated with launching in México City and you can throw a few pounds, dollars, or pesos their way.

Click here to donate and to check out the rewards.

With just under two weeks remaining of the campaign, Café Vegetal need just over £800. Let’s help them get there!

Help a vegan business in London

Got any spare cash?

Picky Wops is a much adored pizza business in London that is currently experiencing severe upheaval and they require community support.

Due to a series of bad experiences that include closing their Fulham branch, Picky Wops is looking for a new home. As you know, London is a brutal place to do business and that becomes infinitely more difficult when you are an independent vegan business.

Picky Wops are trying to raise £60,000 to secure a new restaurant location so they have turned to the goodwill of their vegan community.

If you can afford to spare some cash, please click here to donate.

There are some fantastic rewards on offer including pizza making classes and private catering from the founders.

Hampstead Heath

by

This isn’t something you can eat, but I really wanted to share it with you all.

I’m not often impressed by the idea of a photo book, but this project aiming to capture the beauty and wildlife of Hampstead Heath and turn it into a collectible book is impressive.

Watch the video above and not only will you marvel at Matt Maran’s love of Hampstead Heath, but you will also be impressed by the incredibly high standard to which he works as a wildlife photographer.

Matt has set up a Kickstarter page to fund the production of his photo book and if you love London, or you know someone who does, this is a campaign you should get behind.

The rewards for backers are varied but for just £30 you will receive a hand signed hardcover copy of the 192-page Hampstead Heath: London’s Countryside. 

This is THE perfect gift for wildlife lovers, London lovers and people who like to support independent artists.

Click here to check out all the other rewards and help Matt achieve his goal of producing this stunning book.

Extra note: in case you need a vegan connection to justify taking action, Matt is the partner of vegan chef and caterer Rowena of V-Curious.
