Description:

I'm helping the environment by being a vegetarian. The meat market is extremely anti-green. From shipping countless loads of meat many miles to your household everyday to feeding the cattle and other animals grains that could easily feed many of the starving people around the word. I also buy organic fruits and vegetables at local markets. When I need to, I buy other groceries at locally owned stores. I also don't eat seafood in hopes on decreasing the overfishing of the lakes and oceans.

I know these are small steps, but I hope I am doing my part in this revolution. I also hope I am educating a few of those that didn't know the amount of environmentally harmful energies go into the meat industries.

Supporting the Message

Atraction's action communities are created to help people plug-in and engage after seeing our films. Help us continue our work and support the message by buying our DVDs, T-shirts or other cool things related to our films. The films we make are created to raise awareness and help foster change around issues of the environment, social justice, consciousness, health and well-being. With each film we launch and action community and conduct educational tours of the film to universities and schools. We also create teaching materials that help people dive deeper into the subject. By purchasing a DVD, or other things, you help spread the message.

Purpose

The purpose of this website is to inspire people to take action. We encourage people to take action at home and in their communities. On this social action website, you will see thousands of examples of what people have chosen to do to make the world a better place. We believe that when people see what other people are doing, it helps them take action too. So we ask that you open a profile, and tell us what action you are doing, perhaps you are going to plant a vegetable garden, or you are going to help start a recycling program at school, whatever it is, let us know and tell us how it's going. You can post videos, pictures and statements. If you need inspiration, check and see what people have done by looking on the action map or joining a group that has already started. Together, step by step, action by action, we can create a healthy and just world.

Take Action

Stop talking. Now is the time. Take action here.
