Green Tree vegan household cleaners

I am very happy to find this range of household cleaners only recently available in Singapore - which is 100% vegan! For those of you who are thinking of veganizing not only your meals but your lifestyle as well, this household range will fit nicely - they have laundry liquid, floor cleaner, hand wash, dish wash and an all purpose cleaner - made with plant and fruit enzymes and is 100% biodegradable.

Some enzymes cleaners we made ourselves give off a smell, but Green Tree doesn't, they have a light pleasant smell. So far, I have tried the dishwashing liquid, floor cleaner and the multipurpose cleaner - they are not foamy as conventional cleaners, but not inferior to them in terms of cleaniness. The oil gets off just as effectively. The multipurpose cleaner I would say is comparable to Mr Muscle brand. Gonna try the laundry liquid next.

One more important difference between these environmentally friendly cleaners vs the normal cleaners is that it doesn't dry my hands. Usually my hand felt dryer after washing the dishes with conventional dish washing liquids but I do not really feel any dryness after using Green Tree's dishwashing liquid.

Apparently, from Channel News Asia's interview, they got their fruits and vegetables for making enzymes from discarded supplies - really smart way of recycling - something we need very much in the current environment of great wastage.

Toddler drinks milk from cow

You probably have seen this in the news - but maybe not in video. This little boy shares the same milk source as a calf - from a mother cow.

I thought this looked quite natural since his (human) mum isn't around to feed him. People may find it strange, but the milk we are drinking also came from there! Why didn't anyone find it strange? If it was an adult, drinking from the cow, then that would be really weird.

And look at the cow. She is so patient even though another species is drinking her milk. Simply amazing. I don't even know if humans are that patient if it was someone else's human child drinking from them. For the cow, perhaps she can be patient with one child. If there are millions of kids as well as adult humans demanding milk from her day in day out with no rest - which is what's happening nowadays - it will be a kind of torture.

His mother should have stayed to nurse her baby. It is natural for human babies to want to drink milk (from a human), the cow was probably his last choice.

Benefits of a plant based diet

This website - nutritionfacts.org has lots of interesting short videos based on scientific publications about the benefits of a plant based diet - how a plant based diet can slow cancer growth, slow aging, avoid brain parasites, etc. If you are interest in facts and figures or just overall health in general this site can help.

Body harvest

Another documentary - 10 minutes. Helps you form link between the animals we love and those we eat.



Last time, someone asked me if I am a cat or dog person. And I replied they are all the same to me. Now I think there's a better way to answer: "I am a pig, cow, chicken, duck, sheep, goat etc. person."

A peaceful future

A peaceful future.

This is a video of a young girl living in the possible future - a vegan world without violence.

Santa's secret

Pig farmer went vegetarian and gave up raising pigs

The video is in Chinese. However I have summarised most of it below.


The man in the video was previously a pig farmer. During peak periods, the number of pigs could go up to 160. His family have been raising pigs for more than 20 years, but he don't dare to eat pork. In 2009, he decided to forgo his pig raising business and become a vegetarian. He treat the remaining pigs as his pets now and feed them a vegetarian diet.

When asked why he decide to forgo his pig raising business?
During a normal visit from the pig dealer to catch his pigs to send for slaughter, what is usually done is they will put a sack over the pigs' head and the pig dealer will pull the pigs by the tail up to the vehicle. The pigs will normally cried out loudly and resist. But there was one pig that was different, it was silent and it just look at the pig farmer as if asking "Where am I going?" Then it walked up the vehicle itself. The farmer was taken aback by this reaction and at night he couldn't sleep. At 3am, he sped to the abattoir wanting to buy the pig back, but by the time he arrived, only it's trotter was left.

He felt very pained, and said that this pig saved him, he realised that they are full of sentience.

When asked what do pigs eat to grow up?
He said whether pigs are fat all depends on how people feed them. If he wants the pig to be fat in a certain area, he can control it. If he wants the pig to sleep for more than 10 hours, he can control it. He controls by using medicine or stuff in the pig feed. During cold days and hot days they can't sleep, or they don't eat as much. So they will feed the pigs with some stuff, and the pigs will want to eat again. It is not because they are naturally hungry that they eat, but they eat because there is no choice, they are controlled.

Usually after eating meat, you feel tired, want to sleep, or women had their menstruation earlier, these are due to the contents in the pig feed. These contents are still widely used today and farmers like to use it.

When asked what benefits are there letting the pigs eat a vegetarian diet?
He showed three tubs of food. One containing only vegetables which did not have worms in it. The tub with milk and egg grew some small worms. The tub with meat grew big fat worms.

His pigs have been vegetarian for four months and they slimed down and look better. Ordinarily, pigs will fall sick when they slim down, but not these vegetarian pigs. Even the man on his vegetarian diet slimed down and some of his ailments resolved themselves. He showed one pig whose leg was almost gone from a big tumour growing on it, but after eating a vegetarian diet, the tumour was gone.

Whether he considered letting someone else raise his pigs?
He said he considers them as his own children so he wouldn't just give them away no matter how difficult it will be for himself.

Rabbit Stew

A short animated cartoon on what a vegan girl does when her mum decides to cook her rabbit stew.

Real Hero Kitchen

I stumbled across this fantastic website Real Hero Kitchen, by a group of eco-enthusiasts who want to promote the ecofriendly lifestyle - and of course a vegan diet is part of it.
They have a series of cooking classes teaching you how to cook vegan - however it's in cantonese dialect.

This is one of the recipes they had - vegan cat / dog biscuit.

Why Must We Eat The Animals? Oh Why? Oh Why?

When the sith took over, the animals are used for consumption, now it's up to the Jedi to restore democracy and peace.

Veal spoof

Meat eaters win! Vegetarians lose!
So be it. I rather lose and eat raw vegetables anytime than win by eating raw meat.

Anyway, even though this video was made against vegetarians, this is a good video that makes the veal industry better known. More about the veal industry here.
More about the link between the dairy and veal, and how consumption of dairy products supports the veal industry.

Fur, leather and wool

To vegans they are strictly no-no. But what if you aren't a vegan? Should you wear them?
This video gives some insight to where leather, fur and wool comes from. Whether we decide to wear or not is an individual decision, but it really is important to make a good decision because lives are at stake.

An almost vegetarian spider

We know what spiders eat, and they are predators. However, recently a new species was discovered, and what's most surprising is it sustains itself on a largely vegetarian diet. Bagheera kiplingi is it's name and it does not build a web. They inhabit Acacia trees and feed on the protein-rich tips of the plant.

Don't eat your friends - Vegetarian in Beijing

We often seen videos on how all kinds of animals, including dogs and cats are eaten in China, but this video shows what this good guy (and probably many other vegetarians in China) are doing, that bring some light into our dark world.

Glass Walls

If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian. Narrated by Sir Paul McCartney.

Chickens, turkeys, pigs, cows, fish, dolphins, whales, turtles - whether you eat any of these animals, please watch this video.

It's important to treat our animal friends with humaneness, because this just human nature.
Humankind and mankind. These two words teach us something in themselves. Why haven't we been call humanmean and mancruel?
Because to be human is to be kind. To be kind is to be human. To be kind means to be unselfish, and not eating meat is one way to practice and grow unselfishness.
