Improve the lives of animals this holiday season.

PAW's mission is to inspire communities to live conscious lifestyles with regard to animals. The purpose of our campaigns is to raise awareness about ways our everyday decisions impact animals. It is the goal of every campaign to provide you the facts and ways to take action. Whether you want to shop vegan or flexitarian our campaigns will help you make an informed decision.

The single most effective way to make a better decision for animals this holiday season is rejecting food from factory farms. For all the flexitarians out there, you can reject cruel confinement systems at factory farms by buying cage free eggs and free range meat. (Btw, a flexitarian eats meat, but not at every meal) Just look for the cage free or free range label on packaging. The vegetarians of the world can say no to cruel confinement systems by buying cage free eggs and dairy from local, more humane farmers. For the small, (but growing) population of vegans, the holidays are an opportunity to get creative with traditional favorites. Try subbing holiday favorites with plant based ingredients like Earth Balance butter, plain soymilk, and veggie stock. For workaholic vegans on a time crunch and culinary challenged vegans, pre-made vegan dishes from grocers like Whole Foods, Earth Fare, and Trader Joes will leave your belly full and satisfied.

When stocking your pantry for the holiday season, remember these 3 things: cage free, free range, V (for vegan) on food packaging. You can improve the lives of animals regardless of where you are on your journey of animal advocacy and enjoy a relaxing holiday. For more info, visit http://www.pawty.org/
