Winter 2007 American Vegan (V.6 #2)
Our 2007 Winter Issue spotlights vegan companies, businesses, and the people who run them. From food products to fake fur, toiletries and cosmetics, clothing and shoes, pet foods, places to eat and places to stay, the list features entrepreneurs across the United States, in Canada, and other countries around the world. It is our edited version of the information gathered by Joy M. Butterflies Katz of Gentle World which can be found here and which will be expanded upon at www.TheVeganLife.com. Here are wonderful examples of people choosing a "right livelihood"; most have shop windows on the web, some at brick and mortar addresses. We were inspired to hear their stories and you will be encouraged to read about them.
