Q: The Leaping Bunny program has a sample letter you can send to companies that test on animals to urge them to stop. Try putting together a letter writing campaign with your friends and family. Send these letters to companies you know test on animals. The more letters the companies receive, the more likely they might be to heed the information. The Humane Society of the United States has an ongoing petition and pledge on their website for those interested in supporting the cause of going cruelty-free. Other organizations such as PETA also have different petitions circulating at any given time to aid animals being subjected to cruelty for testing purposes. Consider even writing or starting your own petition. There are many online outlets such as Change.org that offer a platform for creating and sharing web-based petitions with a wide audience. Create your own and share it on your social media accounts. If you are a student, there may be an animal rights group at your school that you can join. Or, anyone could find a group online to join, such as PETA. If there are no groups in your area, consider starting one yourself. Come up with a plan of action for your group, from letter writing campaigns to peaceful protests outside of companies that test on animals. Your group could also raise money for existing animal rights organizations, or volunteer at no-kill animal shelters nearby. Check the Humane Society’s website for volunteer opportunities in your area at shelters, or in areas experiencing a crisis. Or, head to your local no-kill animal shelter and sign up to volunteer once or twice a week caring for the animals. If you don’t have much time, you can simply donate funds to these organizations. Local animal shelters may also have a wishlist on their website for items they need at the shelter. If there isn’t a list online, give them a call and ask what they’re in need of. You can probably find most of it at your local big box store for cheap. The Humane Society has a fund set up to assist animals in animal testing labs. Through their website, you can donate $25USD and help these animals, as well as receive a membership to the Humane Society. Use your social media platforms to raise awareness of the issue of animal testing by posting information and links to credible websites. Help your friends and family find cruelty-free products and educate them on the issue. Hand out flyers or pamphlets with information on animal testing at your school, work, or in your neighborhood.
A: Urge companies to cease animal testing. Sign a petition. Join and support animal rights groups. Donate your time or money to animal rights organizations. Donate directly to animals in laboratories. Raise awareness.

Article: Some people like to write on a computer, whereas others work better with pencil and paper. There are pros and cons to each, so think about which way will work better for you. If you’re not sure, you can try each method and see which feels more comfortable to you.  A computer will let you erase and edit more easily, and also let you undo mistakes and save alternate drafts with ease. Pencil and paper makes you slow down and really think about what you’re writing on the page. Studies have also shown that writing by hand strengthens the brain. Acrostics may sound complicated, but they’re really not! All you need to remember is that the first letter of each line, when read vertically, must spell out the topic of the poem. The topic is often a single word, but can be more than that if you’d like. Consider this example of an acrostic poem about the sun.  Keep in mind that the word you choose to serve as the first letter of each line will determine the length of your acrostic. Choose a word that corresponds with the length you want to write. If the word you want to write about is too long or too short, consult a thesaurus for synonyms. For example, if “love” is too short, you might try “friendship,” “adoration,” “devotion,” “tenderness,” etc. Remember that you can also use multiple words for your subject if you’d like. This is an easy way to add length. What do you want to write about? Choose a subject that you have a lot to say about, and hopefully one that gives you the opportunity to use your writing chops with sensory imagery and inventive language. Some helpful brainstorming activities might include:  Keeping an ongoing notebook where you keep track of things you want to write about Making lists of the characteristics of the thing you want to write about For example: your mother’s personality, her appearance, your favorite memory of her, how her voice sounds, what her perfume smells like, etc. Taking a walk and making notes about what you see in your notebook Taking inspiration from a piece of art. How does your favorite song or painting make you feel? Write about yourself! Who do you know better than yourself?

Q: Mix two cups (480 mL) of white vinegar with two cups (480 mL) of vegetable oil in a spray bottle. Shake to blend the solution well. Spray enough solution to thinly coat a small area of your floor. Rub the solution into your floor with a clean rag. Dry the same section of the floor by buffing in circles with a separate clean rag. Repeat to clean the whole floor.  You can also use a clean mop to rub the solution into the floor. Mix a fresh batch of this solution each time you use it so the oil doesn't become rancid. Combine ¼ cup (120 mL) of olive oil and ⅓ cup (80 mL) of white vinegar. Add in 5 cups (1.2 L) of hot water. You can also put in up to 12 drops of essential oils. Polish the floor using this solution, either with a damp mop or on your hands and knees with a clean rag. Buff the floor in circles with a clean rag after you finish polishing the floor. Take a glass jar and fill it a third of the way with dried orange peel or completely fill it with fresh orange peel. Pour in white vinegar until the vinegar is one inch (25.4 mm) from the top of the jar. Put a plastic lid on the jar and let the mixture sit for one or two weeks. After a couple of weeks, strain the peel from the vinegar and preserve the vinegar in a clean container. Clean your floors using a method described above using a combination of ½ cup (120 mL) of the orange vinegar with two gallons (7.57 L) of water. Mix ⅛ cup (30 mL) of plant-based or castile soap with ⅛ cup (30 mL) of white vinegar and one gallon (3.785 L) of warm water. Add up to 15 drops of essential oils if you wish. Use this to clean your floors as described above. Rinse the floor well with hot water and dry it completely with a clean, dry towel or rag. For extra heavy or sticky messes, add ¼ cup (60 mL) of baking soda to this solution. Be sure to rinse this off well with hot water and dry the floor completely after cleaning.
