What a powerful conversation this was to hear today from 3 highly esteemed animal campaigners and spreading the word about Helping Rhinos. Key take aways: 1. Changing a belief system that is 10’s of thousands of years is not going to happen overnight. But if a talk like today happens and even one person talks to another about it and that person tells someone….then eventually, 10 people will know about it. 2. We need to start using language that references animal rights more than animal welfare. 3. These are hard to hear conversations but must happen if change will even be contemplated. There are true heros out there who bear witness to, advocate for, change policies and legislation to not only save vulnerable animals but the lives of humans and the whole ecosystem - from worms and bugs in the soil to leaves at the top of a forest canopy and everything in between. Thank you Dr Marc Abraham OBE for facilitating this conversation 💚 #helpingtherhinos

Putting yourself out there is as uncomfortable as new shoes, only this time you're not going to let a couple of blisters prevent you from rocking them! So how do you stand there, exposed to the world, with confidence?

"If you do too much of anything, you’re going to suffer eventually." Wise words from the world’s oldest living man, now 112 years young. 🧓🎉 In a world that often celebrates extremes, the key to a long, healthy life might just be moderation. Whether it’s what we eat, how much we exercise, or the amount of stress we take on, balance is essential to aging gracefully. Here’s why: 🔹 Nutrition: Studies show that reducing daily calorie intake by just 20% can slow the pace of aging by 2-3%, lowering the risk of death by 10-15%. 🔹 Exercise: Consistent, moderate physical activity like walking or stretching is better for longevity than over-exerting yourself. 🔹 Stress: Chronic stress accelerates aging, but practicing mindful relaxation in moderation helps maintain mental and physical health. Want to live a long, vibrant life? Start by asking: Where in my life can I embrace moderation?

Spread the love this Valentine's Day by advocating for the 1 in 10 New Yorkers experiencing food insecurity. Today, City Harvest is joining advocates in Albany for Anti-Hunger Advocacy Day to urge lawmakers to pass a state budget that invests in programs and policies to support food security—including increasing the SNAP minimum benefit to $100 per month, increasing funding for Nourish New York, and fully funding school meals. Together, we can end hunger.
