Nikocado Avocado Woke up 250lbs Lighter! Vegan Again?!

Image
The Mukbang king, Nikocado Avocado, broke his 7 month silence after uploading a video to his channel last night.   He first appeared in the video wearing a big Panda head mask.  Beyond that gigantic panda mask, there was something noticeably different about Nick!   There was a super thin body under the mask!  Could this be a clone of Nikocado?  Is this really the same person who would down several cheeseburgers, nuggets, stuffed tacos and huge plates of noodles in one sitting?  Nikocado is the self proclaimed mukbang king of the internet and with that title came loads of weight gain. It was a real shock to see him slimmer than what he used to be as a vegan.  At the beginning of the video, he stated how he was "two steps ahead."  He went on to say that he had been a part of one of the greatest social experiments of his entire life and likened himself to being a villain of a story where he was able to have significant influence over his followers while remaining two steps ahead

Allbirds: The Sustainable Sneakers Brand

Move to the side Yeezy! There’s a sustainable sneaker company on the horizon! With a motto such as “Love at First Step,” who wouldn’t run out to snag a pair? Allbirds creates running shoes made from planet friendly sources such as eucalyptus infused pulp, sugar cane and merino wool.  They are in the process of producing a natural plant based leather.


Allbirds sneakers come in an array of colors, prints and styles.  The Women’s Wool Piper Mid (which I think looks totally rad) boasts a price of $120 and has a very unique two fold half and half print going on.  








This reimagined classic is made with merino wool fiber and is balanced at with a sugarcane outsole.  Though I’m not a sneaker head, I’m all for a sneaker company which keeps the safety of the environment as a focal point during its production processes.  



Allbirds realizes that the fashion industry is one of the largest contributors to environmental problems.  They’ve set intentions to reduce their carbon footprint to zero by 2030.  This might be a hard goal to accomplish in only eight years but Allbirds has strict measures in place to help bring this ideal into fruition.  They’ve even calculated the carbon footprint required to produce one of their runners.   



What's even more beneficial is that they offer this calculation tool or spreadsheet as a resource for other companies to do so as well. They've invited fashion brands such as Moncler, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Burberry, H&M and others to use their carbon footprint calculation tools. If any other company or business would like to utilize it, the calculator tools can be found here!


By 2025, Allbirds plans to utilize 100% renewable energy for their owned and operated facilities.


The fivefold areas that Allbirds uses to track their carbon footprint include materials, manufacturing, transportation, product use and end of life.  The End of Life measure is probably one of the hardest areas for a business to successfully grapple.  This is an area where employing methods such as reuse and recycle so that items do not build up in landfills.


Allbirds was founded by Tim Brown, a merino wool expert and Joey Zwillinger.  What’s better than two good men putting their minds together to create a revolutionary shoe company that utilizes natural materials from our earth? Not only are they reversing climate change through sustainable and ethical business practices, they are also helping other companies and brands to do so.

Apple premiered their yearly Apple Event introducing the new Apple Series 9 Apple Watch and the iPhone 15 standard, plus and pro models.  During the event, a commercial was premiered featuring Octavia Spencer, Tim Cook (CEO of Apple), Lisa Jackson (VP of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives.  This funny commercial saw Octavia present herself as “Mother Nature,” a stern yet comical corporate responsibility officer.  Before Octavia entered the scene, all the officers and workers at the meeting were shuffling around looking nervous and anxious while drinks shook on the table.   We even saw Tim Cook rehearsing the lines that he would repeat to Mother Nature when she entered.   After Mother Nature arrives, Tim Cook, asks her “how was the weather getting in?” Mother Nature then says, “the weather was however I wanted it to be!”   Mother nature reminds Mr. Cook of his promise in 2020—which is to bring Apple’s carbon footprint to zero by 2030.

Leave the Sea Turtles Alone: Nine Die from Consuming Marine Turtle Meat

Image
Nine individuals passed away from consumption of endangered marine turtles in Pemba Island, Zanzibar last month.  A total of eight children and one adult died due to chelonitoxism or food poisoning from the contaminated turtle meat.  Death from chelonitoxication is thought to be a rare happening and is mostly associated with consuming marine turtles such as Green sea turtle, Hawksbill turtle, Olive Ridley and Leatherback turtles.    Consumption of sea turtles is considered a delicacy in remote places and African countries such as Tanzania and Madagascar, French Polynesia and Indo-Pacific regions.  The sea meat is usually consumed at celebratory gatherings.  The individuals who cook and consume marine turtles are unable to decipher if the meat is toxic because the marine turtles appear healthy and do not display any symptoms.  The chelonitoxins cannot be destroyed through heat or cooking.  The chelonitoxism that occurs in marine turtles are due to environmental factors which may include
