Vegan Action is a national organization that educates people about and advocates for vegan options that reduce the suffering of animals. The vegan lifestyle consists in avoiding products linked to animal suffering in one's dietary, clothing, cosmetic, health, and cleaning choices. Veganism has secondary motivations, too: the reduction of large-scale animal farms (and their negative impact on the environment) and cultivating the health benefits of a plant-based diet. It can be difficult to embark on a vegan diet, so Vegan Action has a collection of recipes and resources, as well as a certification label on products to inform consumers that an item is genuinely vegan. Vegan Action's current campaigns and outlook are focused on education and 'big picture' encouragement, promoting conscientiousness when a person can make an alternative choice that's better for animals, the environment, and their own health (for example, using vegetable broth instead of beef broth). Executive Director Krissi Vandenburg also discusses Vegan Action's impact here in Richmond and their sponsorship of the upcoming Richmond Vegetarian Festival.

Special Comment Episode 1 - O Citizen Why Do You Work
June 10, 2013, 6:27 p.m.
We all know its true, we hate our jobs â wait a second, let me start again â we all know its true, we hate the jobs society has â wait, hmmmm, this is harder when you have limited space! Okay, one more time; we all have jobs (thatâs good) and we hate them terribly (thatâs even better), well some of us donât hate the jobs we have, but thatâs besides the point. Those jobs we have, which we hate, are ours by choice? Nope, by necessity! So if not by choice, why do we perform them? Because if we didnât, life would become much harder (as if it isnât hard now)! In this first of its kind CWB Podcast, dubbed a Special Comment, after the name Keith Olbermann used to give his political rants on Current-TV and MSNBC; I read a new booklet I am placing in the Public Domain asking the same question as above â Why do You Work. If youâd like to read the booklet, click the scribd link below, otherwise, listen closely as I take you through the process which forced its creation before doing my best to not butcher it!
