There are many amazing resources available on veganism, low waste living, and climate change!!

We recommend checking a variety of different sources, doing your own additional research, and then coming to your own c...onclusions However, we have put together a list of resources that have helped us over the years. Check it out for some book, documentary, podcast and Instagram account recommendations to help get you started. You can find them on the Resources page on our website or through the link in our bio!

Eco-Tip #26: Choose Low Impact Nuts! At Kind Cafe, we believe in acting in a way that is kind to our planet. That’s why we are 100%plant-based - because it is one of the most sustainable diets on the planet!! However, we noticed one major flaw in how most vegan restaurants created their dishes: they use a lot of almonds and cashews - which have a disproportionately high environmental impact compared to other ingredients. For this reason, we decided to develop a menu that w...as 90% nut free and chose lower impact nuts for the dishes that do contain them! But aren’t nut mylks way better for the planet than dairy? Yes! There is no doubt that plant-based mylks are more environmentally friendly than their dairy counterparts. A 2018 study by researchers at Oxford University concluded that one glass of cow’s milk has at least three times the environmental impact of a glass of any non-dairy milk!!!! BUT! not all nuts are created equal! Did you know that almonds require approximately 3.2 gallons of water PER almond? Almond mylk has one of the highest environmental impacts of all plant based mylks. Cashews use 1704 gallons of water per pound, and have also been linked to high rates of slave labour... Read our blog post for a more in depth dive into the impact of these nuts, and why we have chosen not to include them in our recipes! Link in bio!! Do you make your own nut mylk? What nut or seed or grain do you opt for?! : @ecoinprogress #ecotip #lowwaste #zerowaste #zerowastevegan #lowimpact #nuts #nutfreevegan #nutfree #almonds #cashews #hazelnut #plantbased #plantmilk #plantmylk #dairyfree #nutmilks #nutmylk #vegan #ecofriendly #environmentalimpact

how are your eco-friendly initiatives going during COVID? we know it can be tough these days to get what you need in a sustainable way. coffee shops aren’t allowing personal mugs. bulk sections are closed. grocery stores have resorted back to plastic bags. what a mess. but we know you’re doing the best you can during this crazy time, and so are we we’re here to help support you in your zero-waste ways - you can always ask us for advice! or you can even give US ti...ps! during COVID, we are still using our reusable cloths that we wash daily. we are still allowing you to bring your own cup or container. and we’ve still got reusable containers for you to borrow for yourself! we hope to see you soon AND we hope you are safe and well during this crazy time : @toshalobsingerismyphotographer #supportlocalbc #supportsmallbusiness #supportlocalbusiness #veganbrands #vancouvervegan #yvrvegan #yvreats #vegansofvancouver #veganmonth #worldveganmonth #loxbagel #carrotlox #veganlox #veganbagel #veganrecipes #gratitude #plantbasedfood #lowwaste #zerowastevan #kindcafegiveaway #byoc #zerowaste #lowimpact #ecofriendly See more

hey friends our team has updated a few of our covid protocols as things grow and change within our community. you'll currently notice the following within Kind Cafe+ Eatery: - plexiglass being installed, starting with our community tables... - staff being encouraged to wear masks and distance themselves from one another and our patrons - contact tracing and keeping records for 30 days - frequent sanitization and many hand sanitizer stations around the space - bus bins for you to place your own dirty plates into so we can visit your table less and give you more space - cutlery rolled in reusable cloths to decrease unnecessarycontact to them - only allowing parties of up to 4 people to dine-in - allowing you to place your own food into your reusable containers for take-out as most of you know, restaurants are currently operating with significantly less seating to ensure distance is maintained between patrons. as the season changes, more and more of you will less likely like to sit outside on our patios (although we are keeping them open!). we want everyone in our community to equally enjoy the space so we'd like you to be mindful of the following: - a two hour time limit in our space would be appreciated - we unfortunately will NOT be allowing any laptop usage on weekends - during the weekdays, we have allottedspots in our space for laptops, with a time limit be kind and be safe out there my friends! and please let us know if there is anything you need from us during these uncertain times See more

Eco-Tip #21: Repurposing Food Scraps to Avoid Waste Did you know that the average Canadian household throws out approximately 140 kg of food per year? Or that 63% of that waste food is actually still edible? This means collectively as a country we waste approximately 2.2 million tonnes of food per year. Those numbers sound pretty scary but luckily there are things we can do about it! By being conscious of our kitchen, we can help reduce food waste, and in turn, reduce... greenhouse gas emissions! There are so many creative and delicious ways to reuse those food scraps before tossing them in your compost bin! We have written a blog post all about it and have provided you with recipes for veggie stocks, potato peel chips, pesto, surface cleaners, dog treats, pickles, croutons, body exfoliant, and so much more! In our blog post, we also give you some tips and tricks to decrease the possibility of food waste all together like meal planning, proper food storage, keeping track of waste, and the truth behind best before dates. It can be easy and fun to reduce food waste! You can check out the FULL blog post (link in bio) for tips and tricks to repurposing food scraps and avoiding waste! Which hack are you most excited to try? Or what’s your method for repurposing food scraps to avoid waste?!

Eco-Tip #23: Have a Plant-Based Holiday! can you believe the Holiday Season is here?! while your celebrations may look different this year, there is no doubt that food will still be central. by choosing to have a plant-based (or plant-forward) holiday meal, you can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, save turkeys lives, and possibly even find your new favourite holiday dish! did you know that a 16-pound turkey produces approximately 34.2 pounds of CO2? by simply... choosing to pass on meat this holiday season, you can significantly reduce your impact! also, just because you choose to go turkey-free, that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on your favourite holiday dishes or flavours! there are many plant-based versions of your holiday favourites like roast, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and even pumpkin pie! this can give you an excuse to try out new recipes or plant-based variations that could become new family favourites. check out our newest blog post (link in bio!) for some delicious plant-based recipes for your holiday feasts this season!! p.s. - when planning a holiday meal, also be mindful of how much you are making, to avoid food waste. It is estimated that 200 million pounds of turkey, and 150 million pounds of vegetable sides are thrown away each Thanksgiving! by keeping your leftovers to a minimum, you can help reduce methane emissions that occur from food waste ending up in landfills! what is your favourite plant-based holiday recipe right now?! let us know below! @ecoinprogress & @samianthaa #veganvancouver #yvrvegan #veganthanksgiving #plantbasedholiday #plantbased #plantbasedthanksgiving #veganholiday #vegan #ecotip #ecotips #veganpumpkinpie #foodwaste #zerowastecooking #thanksgiving #plantforward #saveaturkey #thanksgivingdinner #canadianthanksgiving #skiptheturkey #gogreen #eatmoreplants #progressnotperfection See more

despite COVID, we are still keeping BYOC very much alive at Kind Cafe + Eatery, we believe that health and sanitation regulations and zero-waste initiatives CAN coexist.

However, they will be provided in one of our mugs and you will need to transfer the beverage into your own cup at a table - you CAN still bring your own containers for your food. However, it will be provided on one of our plates and you will need to transfer the food into your own container at a table. We can provide you with tongs and cutlery to do so - once you have made the exchange, you will be asked to place the dirty dishes into the bus bins yourself - you CAN still bring in reusable bags to carry your food home in, we just ask for you to refrain from putting them on our counter - we will continue to NOT have any single use or disposable cups, containers, cutlery, or napkins during this time - we DO have sanitized cups and containers for you to use for your takeout if you forget to bring yours! let us know how we can continue to support you in your zero-waste initiatives through-out COVID and thanks so much for supporting ours : @toshalobsingerismyphotographer See more

eco-tip #20: support pollinators through winter something you may not have considered is to prep your garden to support bees and other pollinators through fall and winter. did you know that other species such as birds, beetles, butterflies, and even bats also pollinate our plants? approximately of our food requires pollination to grow, so it is very important to do what we can to support these species through the colder months. Easy Steps to Make Your Garden Poll...inator Friendly: - plant late-flowering nectar plants, to attract pollinators - not all bees live in hives! Leave an area of your garden "wild" (ie: long grass, pile of leaves) for solitary bees to burrow in - provide sources of water (such as a shallow plate to collect rainwater) for pollinators to drink and use for building nests - let flowers turn to seed for birds to eat check out our blog post (link in bio) for more tips, as well as a list of veggies to plant now, for a Fall/Winter harvest! : @ecoinprogress #savethebees #bees #pollinators #protectpollinators #protectbees #beefriendly #beefriendlygarden #sustainablegarden #pollinatorgarden #pollinatorfriendly #sustainability #ecotip #ecoinprogress #sustainability #beesarecool #zerowastevegan #yvrvegan #yvrgardens #gardening #garden #fallgarden #autumngarden #wintergarden

Eco-Tip #8: Eco-Friendly Laundry! Did you know that you can reduce the energy used for your laundry by approximately 75% just by hanging your clothes to dry instead of using the machine? Laundry is a mundane task that you may not think too much about, but it is actually quite water and energy intensive. The good news is, there are some simple ways to reduce your laundry footprint. PLUS! Taking good care of your clothes can extend their life, reducing the overall ...impact of your wardrobe. It's a win-win! Here are some ways to take a more eco-friendly approach to laundry: - Wait until you have a FULL load to wash, to conserve energy and water - Wear your clothes more than once! If they are not visibly dirty, try hanging in the sun, or popping them in the freezer to kill bacteria/smells instead - Did you know that approximately 90% of the energy used by an average washing machine is for heating the water? Wash clothes in cold water, to save energy - Hang your clothes to dry - Choose more natural and low waste detergent alternatives (read our blog post for some recommendations!) - Or, if you’re like @samianthaa - wash your clothes in the bath tub and hang them wherever you can find room since I live in a studio apartment. It honestly works and uses MANY less resources Check out our blog post (link in bio) for more tips to green your laundry! Do you have any eco-friendly laundry tips?
