How I did it: I'm 24 now, and I haven't eaten meat since I was about seven years old. I think that was right around when I figured out what meat was and I couldn't see a big difference between my dog and cows (I mean a big enough difference to justify eating one and not the other). The health benefits are astounding, as is the (lack of an) impact I know I'm making on the planet. I'm so proud to say that I'm a vegetarian. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I did more of this when I actually lived in the town, but I'm not sure how much it helped. It was a lot of editing and I don't know that it ever actually made a big difference in whether an animal was or was not adopted. I wish I could do more, but I'm not sure it's worth the effort and my time is stretched so thin now. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I just bit the bullet and made an appointment. I was pretty scared, but now I don't know what of. It wasn't bad at all, even the filling that came a few weeks later. Read how I did it…
