No, I think it's one badge for each thing. Just like girl scouts. It's a checklist. Except where two or more are specified. Who knows.
This is fun! I totally want to set up an etsy shop and sell the merit badges and a nice sash to sew them to.

That'd be worth a badge.

I didn't think each recipe counted. If it does I need to up my badge count to 30.
Oh! I said I was confused. :(
It said "one badge for contributing a recipe," so I thought that meant..one for each. Hmph.
eta: What does the third one mean?
How about a badge for a vegan spouse? vegan children?
eta2: I was never in Girl Scouts.
How about a badge for a vegan spouse? vegan children?
YES!
I don't know the rules. Cali, what was your original vision? Not that it's super critical. Hahaha.
I think it would be hilarious to actually have patches we could attach to sashes / shirts. But the logistics of that might be a bit tricky. And I do think those badge suggestions were all great! Original post shall be edited!
I want the badges to put on one of my shirts!
Ok, what about: having a tattoo with vegan ink, having a "vegan" tattoo, wearing "vegan" jewelry (as in, the word vegan...), a badge for each vegan year...or a badge for 5 years of veganism..something like that?

I wonder if we could easily make buttons with said badges. Like a yellow, green and orange circle with VW on it, and a pin backing. Much easier than trying to embroider something, which was my first idea. Plus buttons would be wicked easy to ship, haha.
Thanks for the idea HH, flair it is!
can we do it on facebook? they have a flair thing but i don't know how it works.
I've made flair before. (don't ask.) All you need is some sort of picture that's about the right size to put on it.
(And the "pieces of flair" app, of course...)
It's not. Make the image in paint, or it'll probably be too big.
How about badges for anyone you've converted to the dark side? Or for letters written to comapnies about why their product is awesome/why it sucks.
Like this?
