    I Have been a Vegetarian all my life. I don't eat meat and have also recommended by friends to check eco friendly Fish options. I was always fascinated to see fishes, whales & its species in nature. One should know  how tuff the Salmon's Life Journey is.

    As a cleaner alternative, electric vehicles are an important step in sustainable transportation. EVs can be a cost-effective way to reduce operating expenses across your fleet. 
    We bought a Tesla couple months ago and feel proud for this decision. There are definitely some cons for this. However, Saving the environment and choosing sustainable living was a greener choice.
