About me

Hello, public world! Since this is my very first blog post, I'll start by introducing myself. My name is Lyra Rubio and I am currently taking English 1101 at my college. My major is Pre-Nursing and I just so happen to love writing. I'm not quite confident that my writing is any good, but I enjoy it nonetheless.

Hopefully, you all enjoy my first attempt at a blog!

With the use of family farming increasing, greenhouse gases and other harmful factors now affect the environment. I chose this topic specifically because I am vegan myself. This means that I don't consume any animal products. I don't eat meat or anything that came from an animal. This includes eggs, milk, and honey. There are people who think that veganism is only about animal rights, however, despite what your opinions may be on animal rights the effect that eating meat has on the environment is not sustainable.
