Summary: I have to admit, I was very jealous listening to our first guest talk about his work. Simone Scampoli is a full-time activist travelling from city to city around Italy speaking on behalf of and opening chapters for the SAVE Movement. He is committed to making a positive change for all living beings and the planet...and has obviously had a great deal of success in that regard.<br>@simonescampoli @plants_killer<br><br>On Facebook: The Save Movement - Italia, Simone Scampoli, Italia Fish Save<br><br>We next spoke to Mark Monachino, a passionate and compassionate health and fitness buff and dedicated Toronto Vegetarian Association volunteer, who gave us a few tips on thriving as a plant-based athlete and how local people could get to know like-minded souls via the various events and programs he coordinates through the TVA.<br>@torontoveg @mark.mon<br> <br>Lexi Rose is a vegan mermaid on a mission.

Vegans/AR activists are no longer just on the fringes...we're everywhere and from every walk of life. Calling All Vegans aims to curate a wide variety of such guests. The show is an opportunity to get to know one another better, network, inspire each other, smash stereotypes, get more activated, hopefully "create" more vegans...and have a few laughs in the process! It's a place where veg businesses and other vegan-ly undertakings both big and small can be celebrated and supported, where viewers can be informed of where to spend their dollars ethically, and where we can discuss "the V(egan) word" in a relaxed, pleasant -- but unapologetic -- environment.<br><br>We shine the spotlight on individuals who are thought-provoking, inspirational, entertaining...each of them making a positive social impact, living and working ethically and in alignment with their moral compass.
