New Direction Fest 2012

Jang Lee, activist and frontman of Resist and Exist, filmed the New Direction Fest in Olympia, Washington.  New Direction Fest is a three day punk and hardcore fest which seeks to breath new life into the hardcore tradition of resistance and push its networks into a new direction to bridge the gap between hardcore values and application of those values through radical practice (New Direction Fest). The fest included bands, speakers and workshops.

Chipotle Approves FDA Ban

The FDA ban to prohibit the use of antibiotics and certain drugs on animal livestock. The FDA tried to get the ruling overturned last week. Chipotle approves the ban and believes that if animals are treated properly with care, there would be no need for antibiotics.

Story summarized from VegNews.

There needs to be more companies like Chipotle who care about the well-being of animals. They are showing an immense example to other restaurants and companies out there!
