Welcome to my blog! i’m Alex and i have been completely plant based since early March of this year. I’m very enthusiastic about who i am becoming and how on my own, i contribute to society being plant based.
If you’re reading this with any hesitation to becoming vegan, or introducing more plant based meals into your diet due to costs, family concerns or how you can get your nutrients with this lifestyle, then there are a number of videos and documentaries out there explaining how to help.
Here are a few of my personal favourites:
