I WOULD PAY TEN TIMES AS MUCH FOR CHOCOLATE IF IT MEANT REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF SLAVES IN THE WORLD? HOW IS THIS ANY KIND OF PROBLEM.
good news, you can! the company’s called Tony’s Chocolonely and their entire purpose is to make slave-free chocolate and reform the chocolate industry.
Whole Foods carries it. If you don’t want to support an Amazon-owned company, World Market carries it. You can also buy it directly from the company.
It’s the best chocolate I’ve ever had and it’s 100% slave free. Tony’s Chocolonely works really hard to push for transparency within the chocolate industry and actually has and is following an action plan to eliminate slavery within cocoa production. They’re good people who make good chocolate.
THIS. So hard.
We’re at the lowest tax rate in history for the wealthy and they just got a trillion more dollars last year in bonuses.
If you aren’t a millionaire or close to it, you should be wondering why taxes aren’t closer to 94% on that high bracket for the wealthy. You know, like it was in the golden years of the 50s all these rich white people dream of.
can you imagine how furious i was at the james bond franchise when i found out scorpions & piranhas are non-lethal?
They’re WHAT
THEY ARE ALMOST ALWAYS NON-LETHAL, I’M SO MAD
Especially piranhas. Oh you can get a nasty bite if you step on a nest in the wrong season, but they don’t actually eat living people. Scorpions are a bit more hit and miss: the biggest reason they’re usually no -fatal in fully medically developed countries is, well. Medical treatment. Still most species are not going to be able to kill you and a proper hospital will save you the vast majority of the rest of the time.
However that elk will totally kill you please get the fuck back in the car you tourist idiot.
Now wouldn’t it be awesome to have a Bond villain whose secret lair was defended, not by scorpions or piranhas, but by ELK.
“What are you going to do to me?” says Bond. “Me? Nothing…” says the villain. “However, you will still suffer. RELEASE THE MOOSE!”
Hippos. Throw him in a tank with some male hippos.
Aimed at people who don’t know where wool comes from, it’s 100% plastic. Yes, plastic.
So any garment you wash will release microfibres into the sea. It’ll never decompose.
You’re supposed to believe that sheep shearing is violent and cruel. There are imbeciles out there that work in an unprofessional manner while shearing, but that’s not the case overall.
Sheep don’t suffer from having their fleece removed.
Left on, the fleece can become a home for fly eggs and the subsequent maggots which can eat the sheep. Chemical treatments are available to prevent that happening. It’s much better for the sheep, the land and the farmer to avoid chemical use.
Don’t be fooled. Wool is a sustainable material, one we should make more and better use of.
Removing wool from sheep is literally just giving them a haircut.
There’s a news article about a poor sheep that wasn’t sheared for like 10 years. he couldn’t run, he couldn’t walk easily. Once they took off all that extra wool, he was prancing happily. Shearing is good for them, and anyone who says otherwise has never seen a sheep!
*plays assassins creed to study for my ap history exam*
This is actually really funny. In high school my humanities teacher told us a story about one of the Europe trips he had gone on with the school a few summers past. So him and the group of kids were in the middle of Rome and the tour guide had gotten lost. They could figure out how to get to some church they were going to see. All of a sudden one of the students like call attention to himself. He says he knows where to go and just start walking around the streets, taking back roads and side streets and within 20 mins they’re at the church they needed to get to. My teacher asks the kid if he has every been to Italy before. He says no, he just knew where to go because he played Assassins Creed Brotherhood.
