Sometimes it's possible to patronize 100% vegan owned and operated businesses only, but in areas where there is not a demand for plant based menus, products or services, the more we ask, the more they will be provided. Eco-tourism helps!
Each time we go in to a traditional restaurant and ask for vegan items, we are creating the demand that will drive the supply. This is our small contribution each time we eat out, but it adds up when we calculate lives, land and water saved.
