Ricki C.

In 1974 I was 16, when recognizing that animal agriculture and industrial fishing was killing this earth, I stopped eating animals. In 1993 I went vegan. I have done my best to fashion my life to honor this majestic earth and minimize any harm I might cause. I've been a birder for most of my life, and a birding guide and educator in a zoo for many years. I've learned the true wealth and source of joy is wonder. It costs nothing more than being a friend to all living beings, educating ourselves and walking or swimming mindfully in nature.
