Amid Plastic Ban, GoingZero is ready with its Plastic Free And Vegan Alternative – PR Newswire
Posted: at 1:47 am
JAIPUR, India, June 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --GoingZero came into being as an fruition of the ideas of its founder, environment-lover Naman Sharma. Today, his baby idea of a sustainable, vegan, plastic-free marketplace, has grown into an ethical brand, with over a hundred vendors listing and 2000+ mindful products with GoingZero. Recently, it received seed grant and incubation from India's biggest startup ecosystem - iStart backed by Govt. of Rajasthan.
GoingZero's founder Naman says that he was always taken aback with the volume of unnecessary and mindless purchases from food to lifestyle. Most of these goods volume ended up in the landfills, or polluted the oceans. The actual artisans received minimal income while the big brands made all the profit. There was this gross imbalance of financial distribution as well as the environment. What struck him more was that, all of this could be prevented by a little more mindful economy, transacting ethically and focussing more on the need rather than luxury.
"Animals are certainly not factories, nor are they a testing device," Naman added.
And hence, he put together a team of like-minded people whose goal was to make the environment better in whatever way they could.
All the tasks including vendor outreach, onboarding, product listing, etc., are done meticulously, so that the brand's ethics are maintained with every product that is listed on the website.
Each product is tested by the team-members personally on a day-to-day basis. This way, meticulous personal level testing paves the way for listing the best products of the eco-conscious vendors.
The brand aims to put this ethical e-commerce in mainstream and popularize it, along with a happy and flexible work culture for its team, for maximum productivity.
Each vendor listed at GoingZero has to comply with their strict rules for product listing, which are the products should be plastic-free, sustainable, vegan, and have not undergone any form of animal-testing, i.e., they must also be 100% cruelty-free.
GoingZero has expanded its customer base over the past two years, as India's first 100% plastic-free vegan store, and as Naman says, the journey has just started. The brand aims to open up retail and refilling stores in the future where the customers can simply refill their used products in their sustainable containers. The company is also exploring Web 3.0 to bring the next gen e-commerce platform for the future generation.
About GoingZero
Based at Jaipur, GoingZero is India's biggest zero waste store with a promise of over 2000 plastic free, vegan and mindful products. Going Zero came into being to provide a conscious, eco-friendly alternative to people who opt for a sustainable lifestyle. With a vision of fair trade with nature, making sustainable products accessible to and promoting handcrafted, cruelty-free products which incur lesser damage to the environment, GoingZero is growing its presence from PAN India to Global.

The world of vegan snacks just got a gut-friendly chocolate chip cookie boost thanks to Willow Pattersonknown by her stage name Willow Pill. Thats because Pattersonthe winner of season 14 of RuPauls Drag Racepartnered with vegan brand BelliWelli to create a new chocolate chip flavor of its vegan, probiotic-packed snack bars, which are formulated specifically to be easy on people with irritable stomachs.

They have coined the phrase Hot Girls Have IBS and are normalizing the conversation while also providing a tasty treat that wont hurt your stomach.
From Birthday Cake to Strawberry Shortcake to Blueberry Muffin, BelliWelli already offers a variety of low-FODMAP snack bar flavors and the new flavor is sure to please fans.

South Africa Bans Meat-Like Terms on Vegan Products, Threatens to Seize JUST Egg From Woolworths – vegconomist – the vegan business magazine
Posted: at 1:47 am
South Africas Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) has banned the use of meat-like terms on plant-based product labels. Shockingly, in the same vein, JUST Egg products may be seized from Woolworths stores in the country.
This is a huge step backwards in the Governments fight against climate change
According to DALRRD, names such as nuggets, vegetarian sausages, ribs, and chicken-style are prescribed and reserved for processed meat products and must not be used by plant-based producers. The Food Safety Agency has been instructed to seize any plant-based products using these terms.
JUST Egg has also come under fire from DALRDD, with major retailer Woolworths ordered to stop selling the product as eggs. The supermarket has been told that all JUST Egg products will be seized if it does not comply.
The measure also flies in the face of the Governments own plans to introduce legislation to tackle climate change. But the South African Governments Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development department edict, sent out on June 22, instructs the Food Safety Agency that any plant-based products using names that traditionally refer to animal-based products must be taken off the shelves.
This is a huge step backwards in the Governments fight against climate change, Donovan Will, Country Director at ProVeg South Africa, said. Regulation such as this is exactly what we dont need when the worlds scientists are telling us we urgently need to reduce our meat consumption to help brake dangerous global warming.
The regulation also disrespects consumers. There is no evidence to show that people are confused by meaty names for plant-based foods. In fact, evidence from Australia, Europe and the US prove they are not confused. We urge the Government to overturn this regulation. At a time when countries are seeking ways to tackle climate change, we must do all we can to encourage a vibrant and innovative plant-based sector, Will commented.

Celebrate The South Shore Nature Sanctuary’s 20th Birthday Saturday With Performances, Scavenger Hunts And Vegan Treats – Block Club Chicago
Posted: at 1:47 am
SOUTH SHORE The South Shore Nature Sanctuarys volunteer stewards will host a 20th birthday party for the beloved lakefront spot Saturday with a live music performance, scavenger hunts, educational tours and more.
The South Shore Nature Sanctuary, dedicated on June30, 2002, is one of the Park Districts oldest natural areas. The former dumping ground for the South Shore Country Club is now home to native plants and animals in distinct, miniature biomes, including dunes, woodland, savanna, prairie, shrubland and wetland.
The 20th anniversary celebration is held 1-4 p.m. Saturday at the sanctuary, 7059 S. South Shore Drive. To RSVP and see more information about the event, click here.
The South Shore Nature Sanctuary is a wonderful place to interact with time on a different scale natural time instead of city time, said Susannah Ribstein, a member of the South Shore Cultural Centers park advisory council and the sanctuarys volunteer steward.
I see people there who use it in a very personal way, like an outdoor living room, Ribstein said. But there are thousands of people who live in South Shore who dont go there, who dont know that its there. Thats another reason for this event: so as many people find out about it as possible.
Chicago musician and artistLia Kohl will perform a piece Saturday created in conversation with the sounds of the sanctuary, she said. The piece incorporates sounds from birds, bugs and water recorded at the sanctuary several weeks ago alongside live radio signals. It will be played through four radios.
Kohl had never visited the sanctuary until she prepared for Saturdays performance.
I had been to the South Shore Cultural Center before, but didnt know about the little gem just behind it, she said.
I think the layers of city life, human life and natural life collide in a really beautiful way here. I also really appreciate how much work the volunteers have put into cultivating native plant life here. Its a beautiful ecosystem, and its wonderful to see and hear and smell.
Arts activities, scavenger hunts for kids and educational tours of the sanctuary will be held throughout the day. Saturdays party will also feature vegan treats from South ShoresBetty Bot Bakery, 7100 S. South Shore Drive.
Resident Margi Gross was a key advocate for the sanctuarys creation, advisory council member Kathy Henning said. Henning joined the park advisory council in the early 2000s, shortly after the sanctuary was founded.
Gross who has since died and other park advocates would push for the sanctuarys development at Park District budget meetings year after year, Henning said.
Around the turn of the millennium, city leaders took action to reflect residents interest in developing more habitats for migrating birds along the lakefront, Henning said. Chicago sits along the Mississippi Flyway, a major migratory route.
A South Shore sanctuary went from something wed been talking about for years to something that was on the front burner and got developed, Henning said.
Then-Mayor Richard M. Daley spoke to the need for more natural areas like South Shores at the sanctuarys 2002 dedication, Ribstein said.
Other lakefront natural areas on the South Side include the 63rd Street Beach Dune and the Burnham Wildlife Corridor, which stretches from McCormick Place to 47th Street.
Hennings mobility is limited, so she no longer visits the South Shore Nature Sanctuary frequently. Its 20th anniversary snuck up on her, so shes going to try and make it out for Saturdays event, she said.
The sanctuary has one of the most spectacular views of the Chicago skyline that there is anywhere in the city, Henning said.

THIS Smashes 4M Crowdfunding Target In Under 2 Hours – vegconomist – the vegan business magazine
Posted: at 1:47 am
June 23, 2022
1655983860
THIS, the fastest-growing plant-based meat brand in the UK, has launched a record-breaking crowdfunding campaign. The brand hit its 4 million target within 1 hour and 40 minutes whilst under pre-registration, becoming one of the fastest campaigns to raise such an amount on the Seedrs platform.
It really shows just how important meat alternatives are now in British food culture
Since opening publicly the crowdfunding campaign has now risen to almost 5.8 million, making it already one of the largest conducted on the private investment platform. The raise will be live until mid-July, giving private investors the opportunity to buy into THIS from just 10. The crowdfunding will support the vegan brands innovation, marketing, and first international expansion.
With plans to open a new innovation center in West London this year, THIS is now the fastest-growing plant-based meat brand in the UK, recording a 333% year-on-year net sales growth in 2021. Last year saw THIS announce the closing of an 11 million Series A round which was the largest ever Series A for a UK-based alt meat brand, while the brand most recently launched a new product line into supermarket giant Tesco.
Andy Shovel, Co-Founder of THIS, stated: Were buzzing and super grateful for how amazing the response has been. The speed at which this has been happening is unprecedented. It really shows just how important meat alternatives are now in British food culture.

Quorn Beer, Buzz Lightyear Hot Dogs, and More Vegan Food News of the Week – VegNews
Posted: at 1:47 am
It seems that every week in the world of vegan food news is more exciting than the last and this week is no exception. Lightlife just announced its biggest partnership to date with Disney and Pixar to promote its Lightyear film. Beyond Meats closing in on price parity with beef by launching its Cookout Classic bulk packs in 10,000 stores. Vegan brioche is hitting the shelves at Trader Joes. And British brewery BrewDog just made a tribute beer to meatless meat-maker Quorn. Read on for more.
Sure, pairing (plant-based) chicken wings with beer is nothing new but beer inspired by meatless meat? Thats not something you see every day until now. British brewery and pub chain BrewDog partnered with Quornwhich makes meatless meat using mycoproteinto create the Dry-Hopped Mexican Vienna Lager. Brewed especially to pair with Quorns meatless meats, the limited-edition beer is a part of the BrewDog and Friends June subscription box.
BrewDog
Quorn is a pioneer of the food game, their ongoing work to create a better future for us and the planet makes them the perfect partner for a daring new brew, Lauren Carrol, director of brand and marketing at BrewDog, said in a statement. We like to keep our BrewDog and Friends subscribers guessing what well serve up next, and this beer is like nothing weve done before. We cant wait for fellow punks and Quorn fans alike to try it out alongside the Quorn burger.
And while this beer seems like the only thing that unites these two companies, they do share an important common link: both beer-brewing and Quorn-making involve the magical process of fermentation.
Lightyeara spinoff of cult-classic film Toy Storyis hitting theaters today and Greenleaf Foods SPC, parent company of plant-based Lightlife Foods, is celebrating with its biggest partnership to date. The brand has teamed up with Disney and Pixar to create special-edition packaging featuring iconic character Buzz Lightyear for its most popular products, including Smart Dogs, Smart Bacon, Original Tempeh, Plant-Based Burger, and Breakfast Patties. Lightlife also created Lightyear-themed recipes to promote the partnership, including Cosmic Chili Dogs, Buzz Breakfast Burrito, and Morning Moonrock Muffins.
Greenleaf Foods SPC
Our collaboration with Disney and Pixar marks the largest brand collaboration in Lightlife history and we are extremely proud to be the exclusive plant-based sponsor of a film whose fan base spans generations, Adam Grogan, President of Greenleaf Foods, SPC said in a statement. We are excited for Lightlifes family-friendly plant-based products to join forces with Disney and Pixars film release this summer.
To infinity and beyond!
Beyond Meat knows that summer is all about grilling and its vegan Beyond Burgers are an absolute staple. And this season, the brands vegan burgers are getting cheaper so you can feed everyone at the barbecue for a lot less. Beyond Meat introduced its Cookout Classic at Target and Walmart stores during the summer of 2020 as a limited time offering and is bringing a version of the bulk pack to 10,000 additional stores this summer. When you crunch the numbers, each 4-ounce Beyond Meat patty in the 8-pack Cookout Classic will cost approximately $1.99. Thats getting mighty close to the price of beefthe nationally advertised price of which was approximately $1.45 per 4-ounce serving this week.
Beyond Meat
And while we already know the benefits of eating vegan burgers over animal flesh, a price cut only helps to make the plant-based choice easierespecially when meat prices continue to skyrocket. Created to inspire the whole family to go plant-based, you can now find the Cookout Classic pack in the refrigerator aisles of Kroger, Publix, Sprouts, Target, Walmart, Wegmans, Whole Foods Market, and more.
Mini chain Tacotarian is a vegan mainstay in the Las Vegas region and has found fans far and wide, including Vice President Kamala Harris who, following Senator Cory Bookers recommendation, made a stop at a shop last year. At Tacotarian, Harris loaded up on tacos stuffed with vegan carne asada to fuel her then vegan before 6pm lifestyle.
Las Vegans have the luxury to visit Tacotarian whenever they like for their fill of VP-approved meals and San Diegans will soon get a chance to make Tacotarian a local fave, too. Thats because the shops fifth locationits first out-of-state outpostis slated to open in early July in San Diego. Tacotarian will take over a spot previously occupied by vegan restaurants Chicago Not Dogs and The Modern Veganin the North Park area where it will serve its famed tacos, flautas, quesadillas, desserts, and more alongside specialty cocktails.
Tacotarian
Tacotarian was founded by two married couplesDan and Regina Simmons and Carlos and Kristen Corralafter they were inspired by a trip to Reginas hometown of Mexico City. Weve been eyeballing California for a longtime, Dan Simmons said in a statement. We got really lucky with this spot as its in an amazing central location and we cant wait to share our food with San Diego. People have been wanting us to come to California since day one, so it feels great to finally be on our way.
Bread doesnt usually make headlines but Trader Joes knows how to stir up excitement around things typically reserved for a quiet lunchtime sandwich. The new buzz at Trader Joes is around its Vegan Brioche Loaf. Thats because brioche is a type of bread that commonly contains both eggs and dairy. However, Trader Joes made good on its promise to introduce more plant-based items with the launch of this bread, which swaps dairy-free milk and vegan eggs in place of animal products.
Trader Joes
Rich, fluffy, and full of buttery sweetness, a good brioche is as elegantly delicious to eat as it is tricky to makeand its even trickier if youre making a totally vegan version, Trader Joes describes the product on its website. Luckily, we know some of the best bakers in the business, and theyve made a pre-sliced, plant- based Vegan Brioche Loaf exclusively for us, and one thats fit to be the crown jewel of any bakeryvegan or not.
Were thinking its time for French Toast? Or maybe bread pudding? Both? Thanks, Joe.

Vegan Fashion Week Brings Vegan World, An Immersive Environment to Experience Vegan Fashion in LA – One Green Planet
Posted: at 1:47 am
Vegan Fashion Week is the leading fashion movement that has been working to bridge the gap between sustainability and ethics since 2018. The event has brought a unique message and global impact on the media and the fashion industry. The event has sparked the interest of governments and companies around the work, solidifying Los Angeles as one of the leading ethical fashion destinations in the world.
Source: Positive Image LLC/Youtube
This year, Vegan Fashion Week collaborated with the California Market Center in downtown Los Angeles to present Vegan World, the only professional vegan trade show in the world. Vegan World is an immersive environment that allows people from all walks of life to experience vegan fashion, beauty, and lifestyle.
Vegan World featured a catalog of successful vegan designers that have been handpicked by Emmanuelle Rienda, Vegan Fashion Weeks founder and creative director. The focus of the event will be on international female-owned brands, including Nous tudions from Argentina, Veganologie from Dubai, Vegan Tiger from Korea, Mindful Pigs from Canada, Sentient from Mexico, Shoes 53045 from France, and Fan All Flames, Dooeys, and Sylven New York from the USA.
Emmanuelle Rienda said, We are creating an international community of emerging fashion talents influencing the industry, in a highly saturated and extremely competitive space. Our professional platform, inclusive of Vegan Fashion Week, trade shows and a permanent showroom, is an environment of impact, generating cultural experience and awareness that high fashion can be kind, elevated and thoughtful.
Singer Ma was in attendance alongside fashion industry professionals and influencers. Eventgoers were able to discover amazing new collections of apparel, handbags, and shoes made from cruelty-free materials, such as plant-based leather from cactus, apple skin, grapes, and mulberry tree leaves.
Rienda plans to continue growing the global fashion scene with collaborations between activists. Among other events led by Vegan Fashion Week is the Vegan Fashion Library, a permanent LA-based showroom that showcases vegan and sustainable brands. The showroom is a key marketing opportunity for brands to be seen by top fashion editors, influencers, stylists, buyers, and celebrities.

Much like our food, its easy for many to forget where their clothes come from. Animals are far too often exploited and misused in the fashion industry. When fashion literally kills, its time for us to begin educating ourselves and the public about how animals are exploited in the fashion industry and what we can do to change the horrifying realities.
There are so many great alternatives to all of these materials that dont require anyone to lose their life. Check out apple leather, pineapple leather, mushroom leather, fur alternatives, and lab-grown leather.
Many companies have either stopped selling or are committed to phasing out the use of animal skins and furs in their products. Kering Group has begun investing in lab-grown cow-free leather, Moda Operandi banned fur and exotic skins thanks to a PETA letter, and Armani announced they will ban Angora wool. Check out these 10 brands that have dropped fur, wool, and exotic skins in the past year. Sign this petitionto demand major fashion brands like Prada, Versace, Armani, Michael Kors, Zara, H&M, Coach, Chanel, and more replace animal leather with plant-based alternatives!
