An quick update on Exercise Compassion’s Vegan Bike Tour, which starts with the Alaskan Ultrasport.  Registration fees for the Ultrasport are due in just a couple of weeks and our friend is $600 short.  We can’t let that happen!  To support the cause, click below – your help is greatly appreciated.  Thank you for your support of a fellow vegan and animal activist!

Your Daily Vegan + Exercise Compassion = Partners in Veganism

Your Daily Vegan is so proud to announce our partnership with Exercise Compassion!

Exercise Compassion first caught my eye on Twitter (side note: I heart twitter!).  The tweet said something like “riding home with 12 pounds of vegetables on my back”.  Intrigued, I checked out his website.  Instantly, I was hooked.  Exercise Compassion is run by Greg Straight Edge; a photographer and animal activist.  He is gearing up to ride a bike (made by himself) across the country educating people about veganism.

I thought a lot about how powerful this could be for veganism.  It sends a message that veganism is not just about diets and eating healthy.  It is about how we treat the animals we share the planet with.  Greg will be networking with vegans along the way but (almost) more importantly, he will be sharing the vegan word with our omnivores.  I sat down to talk to Greg about his journey to gain some insight to what his plans were all about.
