“Is your job, well, how can we put this delicately … ruining your life? Check out VegJobs for awesome veg-friendly employment across the U.S. and Canada!” says VegNews on Facebook. Doesn’t it happen all the time? We thought we can separate our personal and professional lives, but it really isn’t that easy. It creates cognitive dissonance when what you do at work is conflicting with what you believe in.
I’ve done the homework for you and listed a few interesting organizations that are focusing on plant-based diet, health, environment conservation, and animal rights.
