Have an amazing World Vegan Day!
I like the definition of what this day is about on wikipedia.
I think more people, non vegans, and vegan, should understand that many vegans are vegan because of "The benefits of veganism for humans (edit human an animal)" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Vegan_Day). And of course all of the other benefits. But it seems that the benefits of veganism for the human animal is overlooked by many and embraced by some.
Going to an elephant camp is something many people dream of, but in many cases it's not in the best interest of the elephants.
Please check out World Animal Protection Org, and the info graphic from them is really nice:

Swales and swale systems are essential for keeping water from the rainy season throughout the dry season.
In this video a guy explains how to dig swales in the tropics. The keywords are irrigation, digging ditches and swales:
Bananas are an amazing food and fruit. The taste is amazing, nutrition concentration and energy concentration (89 kcal per 100 grams of raw fruit) are exceptional (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana). The energy distribution is about 92,7% carbohydrates (sugars), 4,5% protein, and 2,8% fat. I love raw banana, dried banana, frozen banana, banana smoothie, banana cake, banana flatbread, and grilled banana.
