Fired-Up Fridays VII

This is our SEVENTH Fired-Up Friday ! So, it should be our best one yet!
We have:
complaints to charitable organizations concerning their wasteful "tokens of appreciation"
and. .
requests for healthy lunches in our schools that actually contain food.
Let's get fired-up!
*Remember to never underestimate the power of fired-up vegans in large numbers*
Was there a specific list of organizations that were the most offending...?
I have one for next week... its not necessarily a veg*n fire-up, but it does concern animals.
How about contacting our auto mechanics to ask if they use or offer wildlife friendly antifreeze. I know lots of animals die every year by accidentally ingesting coolants containing ethylene glycol (most baby wipes and things like swiffers contain ethylene glycol too ???) which tastes sweet. Wildlife-friendly antifreeze contains propylene glycol which is not sweet. (Now I think there are some limitations on this type of coolant; It may not be suitable for subzero climates for instance) But it seems like a fairly simple request?

Thanks, MDVEGAN! You helped me do my Fired-up Friday and be lazy at the same time. (I borrowed liberally from your letter.)
Anybody else FIRED UP???
Great letter! In total agreement here. Lots of times, I don't even want the gift you get for donating. An opt out option is a great idea! More money for the cause and less stuff filling up my closets!
Thanks :)
