“Making ‘The Revenant’ was about man’s relationship to the natural world. A world that we collectively felt in 2015 as the hottest year in recorded history. Our production needed to move to the southern tip of this planet just to be able to find snow. “Climate change is real, it is happening right now. It is the most urgent threat facing our entire species, and we need to work collectively together and stop procrastinating. We need to support leaders around the world who do not speak for the big polluters, but who speak for all of humanity, for the indigenous people of the world, for the billions and billions of underprivileged people out there who would be most affected by this. “For our children’s children, and for those people out there whose voices have been drowned out by the politics of greed. I thank you all for this amazing award tonight. Let us not take this planet for granted. I do not take tonight for granted. Thank you so very much.”

Anyone who has opted for a vegan lifestyle will be familiar with the challenges of everyday life. Food is now clearly labeled, as are most cleaning products and cosmetics. When it comes to bedding, many consumers today are opting against down in favor of plant-based and synthetic filling materials. Images of geese screaming and having their down torn out while they are still alive are prompting more and more animal lovers to look for alternative bedding. In Germany, live plucking is prohibited and is rejected by many consumers. But watch out! Bedding manufacturers cannot and do not want to guarantee where the down really comes from. As recently as 2013, Stiftung Warentest criticized the inadequate traceability of down in pillows and comforters. Conclusion: “Live plucking” is not excluded. Plant-based and synthetic filling materials, on the other hand, not only score points in terms of animal welfare, but also offer decisive advantages in terms of health, care, ecology and price. Modern plant-based and synthetic filling materials are warm, light, breathable and, above all, unbeatable value for money:

  • Synthetic fillings: Usually fluffy hollow fibers made of polyester are used, which trap the air in a similar way to down and thus have a cozy, warming and insulating effect. Modern viscose is an ecological man-made fiber based on wood pulp. Viscose fibers such as Tencel or Lyocell are breathable and warming. Like other synthetically produced fibers, they can be washed at 60°C without clumping and losing quality like down. These fillings for pillows or comforters do not provide a food source for mites and are easy to care for. They are therefore particularly suitable for house dust allergy sufferers.
  • Plant-based fillings: Another insider tip is bedding with kapok or hemp fillings. The kapok fibers come from the fruit capsules of the tropical kapok tree and are very light, elastic, warming and breathable. Hemp has the smallest ecological footprint of all bed fillings and is the most resistant to bacteria, mold and fungi of all natural fibers. Hemp can absorb more than 30% of its weight in water and transports moisture optimally to the outside during sleep. Cotton fillings, which are also available in organic quality, are very suitable for people who perspire heavily. Natural latex made from 100% natural rubber is one of the most sustainable materials for pillows, as natural latex offers excellent moldability, good support properties and is easy to clean. Natural bedding manufacturers offer pillow fillings made from millet or spelt, which provide excellent support for the head and can absorb a lot of moisture.

Ital or I-tal (/ˈaɪtɑːl/ eye-tahl) is food often celebrated by those in the Rastafari movement. It is compulsory in the Nyabinghi mansion though not in the Twelve Tribes of Israel or Remi mansions. The word derives from the English word “vital”, with the initial syllable replaced by i.[1]This is done to many words in the Rastafari vocabulary to signify the unity of the speaker with all of nature. Rastafari derive their beliefs and morality from intense personal meditations and prayer, and therefore there is no single dogma of Rastafari belief.[2] Due to this emphasis on individual personal meditation in Rastafari, the expression of Ital eating varies widely from Rasta to Rasta, and there are few universal “rules” of Ital living.

The primary goal of adhering to an Ital diet is to increase Livity, or the life energy that Rastafari generally believe lives within all human beings, as conferred from the Almighty.[3] A common tenet of Rastafari beliefs is the sharing of a central Livity among living things, and what is put into one’s body should enhance Livity rather than reduce it. Though there are different interpretations of ital regarding specific foods, the general principle is that food should be natural, or pure, and from the earth; Rastafari therefore often avoid food which is chemically modified or contains artificial additives (e.g., colour, flavourings, and preservatives). Some also avoid added salt in foods, especially salt with the artificial addition of iodine, while pure sea or kosher salt is eaten by some. In strict interpretations, foods that have been produced using chemicals such as pesticides and fertilizer are not considered ital.[4] Early adherents adopted their dietary laws based on their interpretation of several books of the Bible, including the Book of Genesis (“Then God said, “I give you every Seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.” (Genesis 1:29)), the books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy. Along with growing dreadlocks and the sacramental smoking of ganja, observing a vegetarian diet is one of the practices early Rastafari adopted from Indian Hindu indentured servants living in Jamaica. Rastafari’s unofficial founder Leonard Howell, affectionately called “Gong” and “Gyangunguru Maragh,” though not of Indian descent, was fascinated with Hindu practices and was instrumental in promoting a plant-based diet in the Rastafari community of Pinnacle.
