BEING VEGAN and WHAT IS THE NEW MALE MASCULINITY? — ❗️The new male masculinity is an eruption of old school male values. The new male takes a long hard look in the mirror. The new male isn’t about the ideal body image, or goal of acquiring a six-pack and perfect biceps. The new male is stepping into fear and not holding back tears. The new male is willing to accept defeat and failure, but strong enough (mentally & emotionally) to stand back up again and again. The new male is willing to change old patterns and adopt new change. The new male is concerned about how to be useful, how to help others - now and for the future. The new male is kinder to animals and the planet. The new male is powered by plants. The new male understands and forgives❗️ — Being vegan, or simply just eating more plants has taught me to be more compassionate, kind and loving. Through my adolescences and early teens, I thought that being a M-A-N was to be strong, fearless and brave. I am still all those qualities and more now. Through compassion I am fearless, through kindness I am brave, and through love I am strong. — This is a message for ALL. Please share my words🙇🏻‍♂️ Always love, Max — #ZeroWaste #Sustainability #SustainableLiving #Vegan
⭕️FOOD WASTE⭕️ will be this year's moral crisis, just as single-use plastic was last year. — There was one villain in 2018 and yes, I’m talking about PLASTIC❗️ — With that being said, the response to this growing threat has been inspiring.

More than 8 MILLION tonnes of plastic is dumped into our oceans EVERY YEAR @plasticoceans — It can be quite difficult and challenging when choosing to go plastic-less and believe me, it was difficult when I made the decision to go zero-waste. It can be daunting and scary when presented with these facts, but remember that our SMALL CHANGES CREATE A BIGGER IMPACT over time. Will you make one change today? — Over the last year, so many of you have messaged to share with me that you’ve made the conscious effort and decision to go PLASTIC-FREE!
