Vegan activists Craig and Cherie Cline would like to share their Golden Ruleism booklet.
Ruby is a Vegetarian Resource Group 2021 video contest winner. She said: "I have been a vegetarian my entire life. I became a vegan this year. I care about animals and believe every life has value. The meat and dairy industry aren't good for our planet. I wish more people would think about this. I also enjoy vegan food because it's healthy."

Deadline for the Next VRG video contest is July 15, 2022.
