Hi There- Are you ready to nerd out?  Fantastic- you’ve come to the right place.  Because this is a little something called chemistry and it is absolutely fascinating- even if you don’t enjoy nerding out, please allow yourself to embrace this post- it is important for every single one of us to learn about, as we all share a planet.

But many of us don’t realize the severity of its existence- we think it’s ‘bad’...

Hi There-    Being vegan may be a slightly newer concept for many folks- maybe someone saw a documentary about the environmental impacts of animal agriculture, or their favourite celebrity went on a vegan kick themselves.

Who doesn’t feel particularly ‘empowered’ through this day.  To be honest, I don’t really know what to feel, if anything, about this day. (Or much else for that matter, but, let’s stick to the task at hand.). I know that these days we dedicate to one particular event or group or type of food etc are to help us recognize and perhaps even attempt to honour one of these, but it means very little to me when there is a lot...

08 Aug What is the point of Zimt? Posted at 18:05h in day in the life, IRL. by Emma 0 Comments 0 Likes Zimt Donates 1% of All Sales to Effective Charities   That’s the point of Zimt. Not just 1%, though. Hopefully more. And more. I myself am more than happy to live a less than extravagant life if I can redirect what would be shareholder (me) earnings to worthy causes.  So long as I can cover the basics and keep life not stressful (at least outside of the business), good. I’m happy to work with the equipment we...
